New from CT!

Hey guys,, happy to find this site!

finally found my 1951 Ford F1!

My name is John , I'm in the U.S. Coast Guard, I have been a car/truck guy for years.

TRUCK:... its preaty much all stock except the engine and tranny, has a 302 and a T5. It's mostly solid but it has sat for quite some time. It's gonna be a hard project for me, ive never done a full tear down and build. looking forward to talking with you guys!
