Hey all,

I'm a 21 year old machinist from northern TN. I've lurked around here for weeks since I picked up my 86 F-150 Flareside, which I have named the Shade Tree Special. I hope to learn a lot from everybody on this forum while I fix everything the previous owner 'fixed.'

 

Congrats on the '86... That's one of my favorite body styles. can wait to see it. Don't you live how the previous owners seem to do more damage than help matters!?

 

Here is how to post pic's on FTE

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.

If you are a supporter than just right click on an image from anywhere like Facebook
or whatever. Than left click in your post and paste it in. So simple even a monkey
could do it.


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

 

Should be an interesting project, welcome aboard!

 

Assuming it isn't raining when I get home from work tomorrow, I'll try to remember to throw a few pics up. Thanks for the warm welcome!

 

Thanks for joining
