I hope all of you and your families are well after yesterdays storms.
I sure was glad that we only got rains this time up here in Ocala - a bit over 5 inches.

Hello to Central Florida Chapter,
I would like to join this Chapter as i have just got a 72 F100. It isn't running yet but as you know it takes a little time and $$$$. I just wanted to know how to become and what it takes to become a member of this chapter.

Sweet!! Do you take it to bubba mud ranch? Get one of those perko battery switches
you can run two batteries and either choose #1 or #2 to run the truck off or if both
batteries get run down from the stereo or lights etc. you can use both batteries in
parallel to double the amperage to start it. The good feature of itis you can disconnect the batteries so it can't be started, Perko makes one that has a key so it
can be locked in the off position. It is kind of hard to start a truck with out juice going
to it!! Just be sure to run a small gauge wire so the computer will get juice to keep
the computer memory intact, maybe 12-14 gauge so the lights and stuff will come
on and everything looks good but as soon as they try to start it that wire burns up and
a bit of smoke comes out of the hood and they think they blew something up and leave
it there!! Be sure to keep the wire isolated from anything that will burn or be ruined from it melting, Just in case you forgot you locked out the batteries and try to start it!!
