New guy intro

I have been lurking here for a few weeks now. Finally got around to writing my intro post... Ford trucks are all I have known and i have been a truck enthusiast ever since I took a ride along in my dads manual 1995 Manual f150 work truck.
I own too many vehicles and have too many projects... current ownership is a 1996 F250 7.3 Reg cab long bed all original rusted out body... Currently have plans to swap the cab from my 1997 F350 chassis cab 351 2wd (rust free) to my 1996.
I also own a 2003 e450 cutaway short bus with a 7.3. The bus is modified inside with bus that fold to couches and easily sleeps 6 and seats 14 healthy american men. I did a bunch of custom work on the bus and if anyone is interested i can make a few threads. Thanks for letting me join and hope i can be a help to the community!

Me, Me, Me! I am majorly interested. We have a little different style of body but most likely lots of the same mechanic stuff to compare.
