Add my welcome. There’s a good number of us that love the bigger one ton models. Is your truck a dual rear wheel flat bed/stake bed or Express bed pickup? Pictures please. Stu

Welcome to FTE. There was a really nice solid looking Merc M-350 on Ebay recently in Las Vegas. looked like a really good score. if this is your new truck I think you did really good. I was watching it and dreaming about it but I have a problem!!!!

Is this your truck?

Welcome to FTE!

As a recipeint of help more often than as providing help, I can assure you that those who lurk and respond here have a vast pool of knowledge to share with you. You will likely receive detailed responses with accompanying photos, technical specifications, part numbers and diagrams, and even some robust discussion about the topics you raise. It will all be offered with honest intent to help you enjoy and advance your project.

From volcano country on the west slopes of the Cascades in SW Washington, welcome to the FTE.



Pistachio, a well maintained, stock, non restored, west coast ‘56 F100 with a 1956 Y-block 292 transplant for the factory installed straight six.
