Joined for one reason only...
I searched 'Ford truck forums', and this was the first result. Here's why I, out of the blue, thought to seek out a forum.
My very first vehicle was a 1970 F-150. I owned it for about a year, the timing chain broke, it got towed, and before I could get the money to get it out, I basically had to sign it over, then they sold it. I was 18, and it was 2001.
One day, I'm desperately wanting to get another one. I only have two pictures of it, and every time I look at them, I get nostalgic.
My problem in finding another one is, I don't think it was an F-150. The pictures show it had a 'Custom' metal emblem on both sides, and the owner told me it was an F-150, but I haven't found any info to show there actually WAS an F-150 released that year.
Anyway, that's my introduction, and I'm hoping to get more info on the truck I owned. Because that truck is my 'holy grail' in anything I've ever wanted.

THANK YOU!! At least it clears up whether I had an F150 or not. It did seem like the owner, even though he liked to work on it, didn't have a clue about what it was.
I'm going to post over there very soon. Thank you again.
