Thumbs up HOWDY FROM SAINT DAVID, AZ

Just a horse riding, Ford driving fool enjoying life to it's fullest! Been a Ford man since 1974. Now own a 2006 F350, '98 Ranger, '85 Ford boom truck and my prized possession; a 1950 Ford F-2, 3/4 ton that I am currently giving a new life to! This forum is just what I need for parts and vast amount of proper guidance to help me restore this old truck. I thank you all for being there for each other and I can only hope that I can also contribute what little knowledge I possess.
Sincerely, Raul Morales aka horsemanraul

Hi Horsemanraul
I know St David - I grew up in Safford. Live in WI now. You know, global warming and all...
I'm new to the forum too - and working on a 50 Ford F3. There's alot of good info here. I've lurked, reading and learning for awhile now. My first ride was a 56 F100 that I foolishly sold to a guy from Pearce. Tried to find it some years later, but no.
Welcome!

Hi Moon50F3, You put a smile on my ugly mug with your welcome to the forum. I worked at Morenci for three years and drove through Safford daily. Anyway, thank you. Yeah I'm excited to get involved with this forum too! Talk to you soon my friend.

Good morning from Snowflake, AZ I am a newbie too! That's a cool truck you have, I cut my eye teeth on a 1941 F-1 back in the day, with a flathead V-8 and old straight cut gear 4spd, loved that 3rd gear whine at about 60 mph, lol.


In high school I ended up with a '52 Ford 2 door, '52 Ford station wagon, '52 Mercury 2 door and a '53 Ford Mainline, all with the flathead V-8 and 3spd on the column. I transplanted a 292 Y block in the Mercury and was in hog heaven!
