Hey guys new to the forum and getting ready for a full body off restoration on a 1978 F150. Original truck had a 302, I plan to rebuild a 90 model 460 EFI engine and restore for a good powerful weekend driver.

Fsullivan, everyone that's welcomed you so far, are total nut jobs. But yes, please do keep us updated with text and photos. That's already a beautiful truck, and we can't wait to see it improved on.

FSullivan,
Welcome to the Forum as other have already done, allot knowledge / experienced members willing to share it W/you and others.
Spent some various times in Gulfport during 1979 through 1982 and then went back for five weeks to help with Hurricane Katrina recovery efforts. Was sleeping ~ 4 to 5 hours a night in a concrete warehouse and will never forget waking up around 1:00 AM having to take a leak and a puddle of water (sweat) rolled off my throat when I got up from my cot, warm and humid. But have always been treated real good by the locals. And welcome
