Hi everybody. I'm a new member from southern WV. I am a lifelong Ford guy and so was my dad. I will be retiring this coming Spring and in the process of building a good, solid, and straight truck...a '78 F150 4x4...NP 435, 400cid with an RV cam, Edelbrock Performer intake and 600cfm four barrel. It's a bit rough right now but driveable with adequate power for hauling firewood with a 6'x10' dump trailer. I am planning for a Gearvendor's overdrive as well. Glad to be here and look forward to engaging.
