Here's my Introduction

I've owned a 55 Ford F-100 for 20 years or so, gradually welding up the rust and swapping in new parts. It is now powered by a 82 Mustang 302 and a SROD 4speed. It also has the 8.8 rear end. I've just purchased an 89 Bronco with a 351W which will provide parts for the next upgrade to the '55. Although the Bronco seems to run okay, it supposedly has a blown head gasket. I'm going to repair the Bronco and then strip it for parts. If all goes well the 55 will end up with fuel injection and air conditioning.

I've already spent quite a few hours in the forums and I've learned quite a bit. I still have a lot more hours until I know enough to start diagnosing problems and twisting wrenches. This is a great resource, I've dug through enough discussions to appreciate some different points of view, and though it takes a little extra time, the topics are certainly well covered.

My hat is off to all who contribute!

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.
