Smile New guy here

Hi all, and thank you for putting the FTE site together. Been very helpful just reading along. I am a pretty good parts replacer but have a ways to go to be considered a mechanic. Love to learn though.
My story is I just bought an 86 F-150 in-line six feedback carbureted truck from a 20 yr old kid. The body is just starting to rust a bit, which is great shape for Ohio. Had a remanufactured ATK engine installed and am just beginning to start my own mechanicals and body work now, so I’m sure I’ll be needing some guidance from you more seasoned FTE veterans.

Welcome aboard. An 86 F150 is be a good truck to learn on, it's simple and basic. Good luck with it.
