Hello!

I'm Michael, I have an 84 F350 Dually that has been modified to be a Race Car Hauler - see pic below

The truck has an interesting history, it started out as a cable reel truck for a cable company. A racer/farmer up in WI bought the truck, dropped in a 351W and did some modifications to create a beavertail and set up a tire rack/tool boxes. He's getting out of racing, so I bought it from him off of Ebay. Now I'm using it to haul my little 4cyl pure stock race car. It's got a rust cancer going, which I know I'll have to deal with soon enough, can't decide on a new cab or just do some adhoc body work.

I've joined this forum to ask questions, learn a bit and get good information on keeping my hauler running.

I've been a Ford fan all of my life and despite my g/f being a Chevy/Junior lover and me being a Ford/Kenseth fan, we both enjoy 'stangs and big Ford trucks and get along just fine. *g*

Look forward to when I can use the search tool and start using this site!

Regards,
Michael

Oh crud! That just figures, I'm sorry! I wish I could edit the post and provide a URL instead. *smacks head*

Thanks for the welcome!

Michael
