$501 Buy/Build

Hello all...

I found this place after I bought a 1973 F250 2wd. I bought this truck from the original owner in . You heard the story... It was that 2good a deal. The truck had NEVER been to anyplace put the local Ford dealer (for real). He owned a little glass co back in the day (1948 started) and in 73 he made enough $ to buy this truck. He told me so many stories but in the end it was his first new truck and it meant a lot to him.
He asked me why I wanted it... I had been looking for about 6-months for a 78'ish 4wheel deal.. Where I live you see trucks on 40's all day long. I wanted to do a old ford (Big Foot style) but do it up modern.... UP and CLEAN... A buddy sent the craigslist add for this little 2wd. $1,500 and the pictures looked great. The guy lived in Okeechobie... GPS that... WOW

So it was a crazy meet and greet. The truck had been left in his field for years and was covered in mold/dirt. Truck is white but looked green/grey

I'm going to post pic's and I have them but I'm a car/truck geek better then a cpu guy. bare with me, please

So, original owner southern truck.

I have never done a build plug on the internet but I have done a few builds and always would rather sneak around and read other peoples input. For the most part I'm a thief.... I read everything and give nothing back.

This is my build page:
Friday 8:00pm 01/06/17

Thats as far as I can comment too... If this post goes to slow sorry and I AM A TERRIBLE SPELLER, if that bothers you STOP HERE!!

So, here we go, first post

So while I was finishing my last post I tried to post pictures of this build. I couldn't figure out how to do it without letting them "access" my hard-drive.

I'm a car/truck geek so it made me wonder...

I'll figure out how to post them soon.... pic's to come...

Definitely post pics when you can.
I'm very familiar with Okeechobee, used to go through there quite often.

I crop, then resize my pics to 640 or 800 max pixels, give a new name, and up load to a album in Photobucket. I then open the picture there, click and save the "IMG" link option, and post that here. I keep all pics "private" there at Photobucket so that once I post that link in "IMG" form, it only lets one see that picture .... like they can't then browse the albums there.

Or, you could become a paid supporter and have unlimited attachments, three "clicks" and the picture is posted.
