First Ford

I just got a 1955 f 100 pickup. Even though I have never owned a Ford this specific truck has always been my favorite since I was a kid. My father in law pulled it out of a barn after 20 yrs and was fixing it up but passed away last October before he finished it. It has alot of meaning for me so I hope with the help of info here and time i'll get it finished.

Welcome aboard Trucklover55, the mid fifties Ford pick ups are my favorites ones and I think they are the sweetest, neatest looking trucks ever built! Your`s is even more special with all the nice memories attached to it, I hope you have good luck with it.
There are a lot of knowledgeable folks that feel the same way in the 1948 - 1956 F1, F100 & Larger F-Series Trucks forum: 1948 - 1956 F1, F100 & Larger F-Series Trucks - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums
Don`t over look meeting some of the fine folks lurking in your local chapter too: Georgia Chapter - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

Bud we have just got to see this truck. Please start a build thread on her. And for darn sure let us see it.

Could we see some pictures? Here is how.


But I got ta say becoming a supporter is the fastest and easiest way to post pics right from
your whatever pad/cell thing or home computer.
Few of us look in the users Gallery or album as you can see by your recent visitors.

It seems awkward, but whenever you "insert a picture" to one of these threads, the forum is looking for the picture somewhere on the web (which is always available) rather than from somewhere on your hard drive (which isn't always available).

Go to Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket and sign up for a free account. Then create an album for your truck. Upload any pics you want to post on FTE to that album. Have this album open on your computer when you want to post pics on FTE.

While you're making a post on FTE, select the pic you want to post from your Photobucket album. When the large version of the pic is open, right mouse click on it and select "View Image Info". The image info will be highlighted and will look something like this:
The best photos and videos | Photobucket

Copy that highlighted info (right click / copy).

When you have the spot in your post where you want the pic to be placed, select the "Insert Image" icon at the top of the post (looks like a mountain) and paste (right click / paste) the image info you copied in the highlighted box (just shows "http://" when it opens).

Your pic will be placed in the post.

Hope that helps.

Here's a tutorial Bob put together: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/67...-pictures.html
