From the what I have researched I got a Frankenstein build pulled it from a barn it has a 66 Galaxy 289 they moved the front k member to clear the front suspension has camaro buckets in it and a 3 speed automatic not sure what tranny I work with mostly Chevys. Had a wild hair and bought it with the pocket change from the local racetrack closing having fun

Do you have digital pix of your truck from digital camera or phone on your computer? If so it is easy to add them to a post (assuming the file is not too large). Find the pic on your computer and leave it open while you come here in another window. Compose a post, click where you want the pic to appear in the post. Click on the picture icon at the top of the posting box (looks like a postcard with mountains and sun) A dialog box will open asking if you want to drag a pic onto the box or browse your computer to find it. If you have the pic open, go there, right click anywhere on the pic and chose copy from the menu. Come back to your post and right click on the box. Select paste from the menu. Your picture should appear (it may take a few seconds to load) in the box. now left click on the insert button.
If the stars all aligned your picture should now be in your post window. Select post to have it appear on the forum or repeat to add more pix. Some cameras make huge files these days that are larger than the forum limits. You may need to resize or resample the picture and save the smaller file version with whatever picture editing software came with your picture taking device before you can post it.

Oh! and welcome to FTE and the old truck madness.

Ax, I hope you don't mind me using your pic posting instructions this way?

PM me if there is a problem please.

Here is how to post pic's on FTE

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...ure-guide.html

Here is one way by "Axracer"

Do you have digital pix of your truck from digital camera or phone on your computer? If so it is easy

to add them to a post (assuming the file is not too large). Find the pic on your computer and leave

it open while you come here in another window. Compose a post, click where you want the pic to appear

in the post. Click on the picture icon at the top of the posting box (looks like a postcard with

mountains and sun) A dialog box will open asking if you want to drag a pic onto the box or browse

your computer to find it. If you have the pic open, go there, right click anywhere on the pic and

chose copy from the menu. Come back to your post and right click on the box. Select paste from the

menu. Your picture should appear (it may take a few seconds to load) in the box. Now left click on

the insert button.
If the stars all aligned your picture should now be in your post window. Select post to have it

appear on the forum or repeat to add more pix. Some cameras make huge files these days that are

larger than the forum limits. You may need to resize or resample the picture and save the smaller

file version with whatever picture editing software came with your picture taking device before you

can post it.
