Wink Introducing Me

Hello All

I just bought a 1963 F100 long bed with 223 l6 and 3 speed on the tree. It is in great shape for its age with little rust, and none in crucial areas. I was excited about this truck because it is my first PU, and I found out that it has been in NC all its life and approximately within the same general area. The only downside was the engine...it did not last 30 miles from where I bought it, and has to be put down.

That's the mix of news. I am on here hoping that the site can give me some valuable insight on restoring.

Look forward to talkin' and learnin' to and from each of you.

Welcome to FordTrucks.com! We are the Internet's Premiere Resource for all things Ford Truck and SUV related!


We are happy to have you! There is a ton of great info on this site. But, before you go snooping around there are a few things you need to do first.

1) Want to meet or talk to other members in your area? There are Provincial, State and International Chapters located near the bottom of the main forum page.

2) Before you post a thread asking a question be especially aware of where (what forum) to place it in. FTE is HUGE! Make sure you read the Read First: at the top of the forum before you go posting.


3) And finally you should review the Guidelines. They will kind of give you an idea of what is and isn't allowed on this site ("The Rules").


And that is it. I hope you enjoy the FTE "Experience"! This is a great place and we have lots of fun while exchanging valuable info. If you have any questions or problems do NOT hesitate to contact me. Just click my username then send me an email.
