Well I just cant let the dream go yet.

Heah guys , well I just sighed up for another 3 years of FTE. Why pay when ya don't have a truck?, well that's easy to answer, I love this site and all you guys for one, plus hopefully my old albums may inspire some new truck owner to dive in and try something that they don't know how to do (yet) so Id hate to see em deleted. heck ya never know I may stumble across an F1 that is done and I can tinker with who knows Any how were starting to come out of the fog after the fire, and thanks to many of you, and my Mother I am finally out of the debt I accumulated building the 50 F1. Yeah and thank you all. Well God willing Ill be around from time to time to keep my foot in the door. I'll catch ya later. By for now

Jim, thanks for sticking around and letting us know.

I hope you do find another F1. Matter of fact when I read your title I thought you did find one!

Dreams and aspirations are necessary ingredients in a happy and meaningful life. When we stop believing tomorrow can't be different or better than today, we've lost something significant. So Jim you just keep holding on and moving forward, and we're glad you are keeping us along on your ride.

Jim

Good to hear from you Jimmy. Here's a thread you may want to check out...https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1638996-1951-f-1-road-trip.html nice F1 found in Lodi and on it's way to TN. There are more of them in good shape in San Diego, it would be great to see you "back in the saddle". Good to hear about you and your Mom.

Jimmy,
This site is for ENTHUSIASTS, there's nothing saying you have to own a truck. You, my friend, are definitely an ENTHUSIAST!
Its always good to hear from you

Great to hear from you Jim. You always have a great attitude and a way with words that is second to none..
No need to have a truck to engage here. Although, we would all love to see you get a truck again.
