Howdy from nor-Cal

Howdy all bump lovers:
I am new here but not to bumps. My first bump was a 1970 F100, burgundy and white that I bought around 1974. My second is my current bump, a 1972 F250. Both two wheel drive trucks. Have had my current bump since around 2005. Lots of work which included a rebuilt 460 and C-6 and the differential. Also butt welded in a new floor section on the drivers side. My daughter drove the 250 to high school wearing her cheerleading outfit most of the time. She named the truck Bruce which has stuck. Well, it does pull tree stumps and can pass most cars, but not a gas station. I love driving Bruce around town.
greetings,
Kurt

Howdy Kurt and Bruce. Definitely post pics when you get a chance.
Even if it’s rough and tumbled and a wiring nightmare, we still like to see what everybody’s working on or driving.

Picture of Bruce


Bruce looks better in a photo than in real life, but I get compliments when downtown or in the hardware store parking lot.
