I haven't attempted to use these types of forums before so bear with me for a little. I have a 56 F 600 dump truck. Old state truck with spare between cab and box. I also have a 56 F100 with 65 F100 4x4 running gear. I hope to network with others in this community for answers and parts.
Looking forward to this community.

So do these chapters end up having a 'swap meet' or do you have a listing of folks with particular specialties?

Thats a very good question, our chapter holds several meets, these one saturda, a fella hosts every year we all go down there swap parts, b.s., and put wrench time in the projects all weekend.

Its more or less buddies meeting ilup drinking acouple cold ones and helping each other out.

I enjoy it and have made some damn good friends out of it.

cool, we were just in Texas. I have and uncle in Dallas who turned 97 this year and my mom really wanted to see him, so we stayed at camped at The Vineyards in Grapevine (just down the street from biggest Bass Pro Shop I've ever seen).

I used to have some fairly desirable pieces, 406 Tri Power with Original Air Cleaner and linkage, couple of 9in nodular iron housings with lockers and headers for 427 original cast iron. These days I have a complete 390 335hp from a 68 cyclone which is supposed to go in the 56 to replace a tired 390 320hp but this retirement is too busy...always sumthin'.
