Hey guys, just joined up here. I don't have a truck yet but I'm looking to get one as a daily driver and to pull my jeep out to SMORR. I'm located in Springfield.

(If anyone knows of a cheap 72-86 F-150 for sale cheap in my area let me know!)

Welcome, cool another one close to my neck of the woods. I live just outside of Bolivar, north of Spg. And will be towing a rig to SMOOR soon, looks like I might have a convoy bud.

Strength in numbers ='s more tools and idea's to fix it.

Cool another Jeeper. Tell me what you got. I've got a 73 CJ5 with a bad motor, although I have one to put in it. Anyways, welcome to the boards.

What I plan on wheeling at SMOOR with

79 F250 4x4 400 4spd 6" SkyJacker Hedeman headers to straight stacks, Eldebrock intake, Holly carb. Flat bed when finished, with tube doors.

Stock D44 front (for now) but have D60 to go in, after a locker of some sort gets put in. Have a set of 35" Boggers, 36" Wrangler's, and 38.5 Super Swampers, so can put on pretty much whatever.

Still have a mess of work to do to it, but its a labor of love. The plan is to use the blue truck to trailer tow the red truck.

77&79F250: Those are both really nice looking trucks, It'll be really cool to see the red one out on the trails!

Ubereal2: Thanks for the welcome. I don't have a truck yet but I'm working on changing that.

Pintoches I was just over in that area yesterday. It looks like a nice truck, and one of the body-styles I want. How many miles does it have, anything wrong with it?
