Arkansas Ford guy

Howdy Ya'll!
Bit about me, Married 21 years, 2 boys 13 & 16. 24 years military and counting....Air Force, Army and Full time Air National Guard.
Life Long Ford fan, (even liked Ford Hot Wheels better when I was a kid!)
Usually have at least one Fairlane and one dent or bumpside in the drive at any given time.
Currently have a 64 Fairlane 4dr my boys and I drove on the entire Hot Rod Power Tour last year. Also have a 68 F100 my 13 year old son and I are building for his first truck (mine first was a 72 F100, then a 70, then a 68....you get the idea). Also have an 89 F350 7.3 idi crew cab and several other off brands.
Thanks to all who post, it sure helps in the driveway!
Give me a shout, love to talk cars....and trucks.
