NooB:)

Hi everyone!

I am new to the forum and currently working on my 86 Ford F-150, 2WD, 4.9L, I6. My uncle gave me the truck last year about this time. He said if I could get it running I could have it. After about 3 weeks of tinkering, replacing the enitre egnition system (only to find out it wasa module), I got it running. Since then I have replaced e-brake assembly, master cylinder, put in a sliding rear window, new cd/mp3 player, new front speakers, new tailgate & handle, and gotten a bunch of new body parts to put on once the weather cooperates!

Right now I basically just drive short distances, but my cousins gave me an old Tortoise slide in camper that I can't wait to start using this season!

I'm sure I'll be asking for help aalong the way, so thanks in advance!


Jim
