Welcome to FTE. Looking forward to seeing pictures of your truck.
Since you have another member in the same time, you need to get your trucks together for a meet and greet.

I have to admit, this site is part of the reason I decided to get it. I had already looked through for ideas, and saw how much support there was, so I pulled the trigger and got the truck

Time to meet up at next month's Po Boys car show at Riverstone. I saw a couple of old F1's there last Saturday. Were either one of them yours or Philthy's?
