Another new guy

Hey all,
Down here on the southern GA line, hot as the dickens. I've got an amazing (to me) 1990 f250 4x4 custom . Naturally aspirated 460 w/ ZF5 + BW1356 + Stirling 10.25 rear-end. Leaf springs all the way around. She dont have a problem in the world. I picked this truck up from a young fella in gulf shores about 2 years ago. The truck had ALOT of stuff wrong with it but that's another story. I got the truck road worthy again and started daily driving it to work. I sold my 2020 "voodoo" blue toyota back to the dealer because I liked this truck so much I stopped driving the yota. This truck makes me feel like I'm 17 years old again (33yo atm) and I reckon my RL people get tired of me bragging about my beater truck all the time so I went searching for a like minded bunch of rapscallions that like talking about fixing and working on trucks. What do you fellas think of my beater truck?

Welcome to FTE.

Nice looking, "beater". If it gets you from A to B reliably, it's a keeper.

Have you checked out your state chapter yet?
