Well, I haven't even gotten it yet but I'm already here :-P I'm getting a 75 F100/F150 (Not sure which, half ton 4x4) standard cab, FE V8 (Not sure if it's a 360 or 390) 4 speed manual, rust bucket! Not super rusty, but the wheel arches in the bed are toast, and there are a few holes in the floor board. Ultra ghetto stereo (Speakers bolted to the dash, definately have got to go!) but it's a stick and it's 4x4 :-P Current plan is a tuneup and maybe some aftermarket gauges (stock gauges suck) and probably a tach, currently browsing for a decent set of headers for it (Found some @ Summit) since I've heard big block Ford exhaust manifolds arent' the greatest, plus I will probably bust out the Dremel and hog out the exhaust ports. (Going to have to dust off my Chassis Fab notes from Wyotech..) Hopefully it will run good enough in the next 7 weeks or so that I will be able to drive it back to Oregon after I graduate, I've already got one truck (1992 Dodge Ram 4x4 Cummins diesel) but with two trucks we'll be able to haul my stuff back to Oregon better, and I figure I can stick my 87 Subaru turbowagon on a trailer behind the Ford, stuff it full of stuff, and put all my yard tools and crap that can get wet in the back of the Ford, with everything else in the Dodge, since it has a canopy (and can tow 12,000 lbs... Damn automatic...)

I do have some pictures of it but they are in my phone (Don't worry, it's a 1.3 megapixel so the pics won't be too bad) but when I get home from class I'll upload 'em lol..

Okay I'll quit rambling now lol

Love your handle!
Welcome to FTE, You will meet lots of great people here!

 

yeah, I'm a regular over on the Ultimate Subaru Message Board (http://www.usmb.net/) and when I signed up, i didnt' care much for Hondas, (Didn't care much for anything that didn't have a blue oval with six stars in it on the front and SUBARU on the back then either..) so I did hondasucks lol, since i'd seen someone on one of the demolition derby mailing lists eons ago who's handle was fordsucks at hotmail.com (I don't know WHY people think Fords are junk, it's CHEVIES lol) Now I pretty much will drive anything, work on anything, lol :-P
