New to Forums

Hello everyone, I am new to the forums and have had a 76 ford F250 2wd for a couple of years now. Got it from a guy who had dumped about $7000 into it for a new engine, exhaust and other work. There is a lot that needs to be done on it though and I finally want to start the slow process. The truck runs great needs some body work, very little superficial rust, just some small dents here and there on the bed panels. Haven't done a lot of auto work but plan on doing a lot of it myself. Looking forward to getting started! Have looked thru the site hear and it seems very helpful!
