My introduction

Well I just bought my first Ford. It is a 1975 2wd F250 Camper special 8100 lb GVWR, 390 with a 3 speed auto trans. Dana 60 with 3.73 gears in the rear. Basically all stock.
Paid $500 dollars for it and put another $500 worth of tires on it. I am loving it.
Needs some minor stuff, rag joint(done), column shifter wont go to 1st, Exhaust donut gasket, door and window gaskets, oxidation rubbed out of paint(started) man there is a lot of surface area on these trucks. Overall the truck is in great shape with some surface rust but no rot(Ca. vehicle).
Just wanted to say hi and thanks for the info I have absorbed. I have been lurking since January second.
Here is a link to pictures. The truck pics are at the bottom.

Welcome to the site...
Looks like you got a pretty solid truck there. Seems like the exterior isnt in all that bad of shape...hows the interior holding up?
