New Member with a old truck...
Hi my name is Steven, and I bought an old Ford pick-upagainst my wife's better judgment.
I have always loved the body-style of the 7th generationFord pick-ups
So a month ago, I made a Craigslist purchase of an 1980F-250....it met all my criteria:
An abundance of rust - Check!
Leaks every fluid known to man - Check!
Parts missing, modified and swapped - Check!
A long list mechanical sounds forecasting future catastrophicfailures - Check!
I'm at best, a shade tree mechanic, so this should be anadventure.

You'll find some knowledgeable and friendly folks here, very willing to help with advice and experience. For example a 5' length of 3/8" plywood under the cushions makes the couch a lot more comfortable for sleeping.
