Good morning

Just picked up a 75 F250 2WD with a 460. Truck's in good shape just needs loving. I'm retired from the navy after 20 years. Met my wife in special projects and she retired after 24 years. I was an electronics tech on P3s and the spent the last half of my career in Oklahoma City with TACAMO. Now I'm running a construction company and enjoying life. Always loved the looks of the early 70s trucks and stumbled onto this one at a client's house. (Also, just picked up a 73 MG MGB the same way) Looking forward to all the info these forums always provide.

Welcome to FTE. That's a good looking truck. It doesn't look like it will take much work to make it pristine again.
Check out the Iowa state chapter and join them too. Some very good people ther.

PS. We won't hold that Navy thing against you! ")
