Welcome to the board!


You've managed to stumble into the nicest forum on the net. There's a bunch of great people here who are more than willing to lend a hand and offer advice......oh, provide some good natured ribbing now and then.


Nice looking truck

Welcome to FTE! And you are right on track since you showed us picture of your truck without us begging to see it.... but you could show us more!

 

Ditto!!!
Welcome to FTE! Glad to have you. Keep us posted on your work.
Drive the heck out of it.

 

And you re right on with the 'summer driver' routine. Drive the heck outa it for 9 months and when the salt hits the pavement, Hose it down, oil it up and park it til its ALL gone! I lived in New England in the late 60s and early 70s. Shame to see what happens to nice vehicles when the salt works it's evil. Nice truck, and Welcome to FTE!

 

Hey Paul,
Welcome Aboard! Nice looking truck. Have you driven it? What do you think? Plans?


Looking good up there in NH!

Welcome from northern California. That looks like one clean51, congratulations. You are guaranteed to have many wonderful memories ahead of you.

 

Welcome from Arizona. Looks like you have a very nice driver there.

 

Welcome! Sweet F1, the door handles don't even sag!

 

i got the truck last fall did brakes and stuff to get it on the road after 350 miles this summer replaced about the whole frnt end king-pins pitmen arm etc. etc. my plan is to keep it as orig. as possible and drive it thanks pwb

 

Where have you been? Was looking for someone nearby for 10 years with an old Ford truck but no luck. You're about 40 miles from me. I finally sold mine a few weeks ago. Good luck with it!

 

Nice truck you have there.
