Hi all,
I'm new to this particular forum being a pat member of the Bronco and Expedition forum. I just picked up a 71 f250 camper special as a project for me free, and not so free, time.
the past forums were a huge help to me and I know this will be too. Just saying hey.

Russell

Welcome to the Bumpside Brethren. Lots of knowledgeable folks, both young and others of vintage, to provide input and share their experience.

I know I'm probably the youngest one on this particular forum, but after screwing with my 71 for over a year now, I know quite a bit about it. They are easy to work on and easy to figure out. (Most of the time)

BUMPSIDE is slang for a 67-72 truck because of the convex "bump" running down the side of the truck.

DENTSIDE is a 73-79 truck because of the concave "dent" on the sides.

Welcome to the forum. What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.............except in this forum.
Like it has been said, "it's a poor day you don't learn something."

Welcome aboard, Russell.
There is no problem that can arise on these old trucks that someone here cannot solve. Or direct you to a solution. These guys are good.
If you have a technical issue with the truck, give a shot at a solution and come back in with what you have done and the issues remaining.
