Hey Everybody! New to FTE but have been lurking for awhile now. I just recently purchased a new to me 78 F250 supercab 4X4 and want to bring her back to her original beauty (without getting kicked out and having to live in her! -read WIFE).
Long slow process I am sure. I have mechanical experience and have a knack for figuring stuff out. I used to be the neighborhood shade tree mechanic and did a pretty good job.
Looking forward to meeting you all and sharing knowledge and help if asked. I live outside of Ofallon in God's country.
Thanks for inviting me.
Long live the old Fords!

Welcome to the Mo chapter, make sure you stop by the monthly chat/bs thread. We all hang out there and keep tabs and shoot the bull in there.
We all understand the (read wife) thing for sure. Moma ain't happy, no one is happy or gets dinner. lol

If you can spend $500 on a deer hunting bomb, yes you are rich and crazy.
I am planning on getting home, finishing red and work on blue some more and the old Bronco, to take it to SMORR. Maybe start on the frame rig, that's all.

Nice, and it's not $500 it's $500,000 just for this thing is truly is badass though, uh-60s should have some 
that's be ultimate weapon, now I think if I shot this thing with a kill radius of 150 meters with a over cucussion radius of 300 meters enough to kill u from brain damage....I don't quiet think there's gunna be much of the deer left to eat on, what do u have left to finish on red? And on blue? I forgot to ask where you was from in Missouri rich?

Oh I missed the K after the 500 duh. A Blackhawk does have a ultimate weapon, its called the "Door Gunner" lol.
Red needs the interior finished (I'm getting there), put the flat bed on it and different tires and wheels and wet sand and buff it.
Blue needs a battery, washed and driven....
Bronco needs roll bar modification, front axle u joint is loose, so it need replaced before its taken to SMORR and beat on.
Check out the Missouri FTE members map to get the location of us all, I live north of Fairplay Mo.

Welcome new members. I'm beginning to feel like the minority since I didn't serve our country, Marines in '85 wouldn't take somebody who'd had a broken bone and since they wouldn't take me, I said screw it, no military service. I wish I didn't know everything back then, I shoulda taken the ASVAB and went in anyways.

With some stuff, I wish I had pics to upload, I've custom made out of diamond plate aluminum a custom flat bed, done a ton of custom work, and love it, haven't done much interior, mostly paint, and custom stuff outside wise, so how long have u owned blue?
