Hi!

Hello, i'm new, from Åland islands across the atlantic!
My english might not be the best, but bare with me.

Been working quite a bit in my day on old cars & motorcycle engines, but i'm pretty new to theese american trucks.

Here's my baby;
An old 2wd 1990 F-150 XLT lariat with a fuel injected 351 windsor & an E4OD tranny.

It's in decent condition, only done about 100000miles or so wich isn't much for it's age, pretty much rust free apart from a small gash in the back of the cabin where a previous owner had something carelessly loaded on the bed.

Had it a bit over a year now. Just been improveing here and there on wear & tear, bits and bobs.

Mods so far are limited to a hooker super competition exhaust and a k&n filter (not on picture). Just went through the timing gears and tranny & it runs at least good as new by now.
I'm looking to fit a limited slip diff in the near future and mabye scare up the old windsor lump a wee bit more.

Hello Pellas, it`s nice to meet someone from your part of the world! No worries on your English, it`s better than what I could do in your native tongue.
Congratulations on your Lariat, it`s a very nice looking truck and I like the colour. I`m glad it has a good home with you.

You call that truck old? The newest rig I have ever owned is a 90 Dodge W250 I bought new that I still have. I just can't get my head into this new fangled fuel injection stuff. No how, no way. Carbs for me Bud.

Well, it's as old as me.
Everythings relative, seems common with new trucks around here.
