New guy

Hi guys . Not sure why I waited so long I'm on other chat sites ( snowmobile ,farm ect ) great amount of info and advice . I am currently building a 53 f100 that I bought from Washington as a started project I have been " collecting " parts for a few years but am getting into it full bore now . The truck came with c4 corvette suspension and 350 auto installed and that's about it .I have removed the engine trans in favor of a 408 Windsor AOD combo waiting for pushrods for engine and time to freshen up trans , mounts are made and will be installing asap . I will have a few thousand questions and look forward to your input but for now I thought I would just say hi EBEAR

I'm form the Swan River Valley . snapped a few the engine in it is a 302 for making mounts, fitting steering column ect. seats are not bolted down just in for fitting and putting in pedals and making everything " feel good " the front rims are the ones for the truck the rears are back ordered but those are the proper tires so the stance should be close to what it will be when finished PS anyone under the illusion that Amercan Racing is made in America I'm sorry to inform you that my rear rims are on a boat between CHINA and California . I will have tons of question and am looking forward to your help and ideas .
