New old guy

Hi, I'm Frank. New guy, here... Got my first car was in 1965, it was a 1957 Ford Custom 300.
Presently 1994 E150 Chateau Club Wagon 5.8L, .a 2012 Toyota RAV4, a 2020 Toyota Highlander, a 2008 GMC Sierra crew cab 1500, and a 1968 GMC C-15 Step Side Short bed.
. I'm a retired, soon to be 72 years old, and a car/truck guy with no specific brand as a preference.

Also had 1995 E250 Extended Panel Van 4.9L (300 CI) 6 Cyl. 1997 E350 Extended Club Wagon V10, a 1992 Crown Vic LX 4.6L, and a 1967 Mustang coupe 289/C4, 1986 Dodge B150 Royal Van, a 1976 Dodge B200 van, a 1972 Plymouth Fury III wagon, a 1969 Plymouth GTX 440 x 4speed x Dana, and a 1968 Hemi RoadRunner (Purchased new) 426 Hemi, 833-4 speed, Dana 60 4.10:1 , a 1970 Plymouth Scamp slant 6, two 1971 Dodge Darts one was a /6, the other a 318 punched out to 390, a 72 Dodge Dart 318, 1949 Merc 2 door coupe, flathead V8, 1950 Lincoln flatty, with OD, a 1932 Ford Victoria (Vicky) with a 1958
392 Hemi, 4spd, and a old Quick Change rear, and a 1957 Ford Custom 300 - 2 door, .
Not in any kind of order, but the 57 Ford was my Very first car that I owned and/or worked on. removed the inline 6, replaced it with a 312 V8, and a 3 speed manual converted to a floor shifter.

Actively looking at a new Diesel Pick up. Seriously considering a 3/4 ton diesel crew cab with a serious towing package. Looking at all brands, no present favorite, though I do like the Cummins diesels, as well as the old 7.3 Fords.

Good to be here, and thanks for having me!
