Post #1000

My 56' F-100 and I wanted to use the 1000 post milestone to say thank you for all the help, the interesting information, entertainment, and camaraderie I have found here at FTE. I seldom get the chance to hang out in the garage with friends any more, with career and family, but when I am here I get some of that which is missing from my life, and is so much more important than people realize.

Thanks!

(I hope mentioning my 56' will keep this post here.....

, you are the group where I feel most at home..)

P.S. I have been driving my 56' to work daily now for a couple of years, and I must say I have a better day at work when it starts out with a drive in an old Ford!

Congrats on rolling the number.
It's not quite as exciting as rolling over the Odometer(Keeping it Truck related.).

Congrats on the post count and daily driving the 56!

Once mine is together it can still only be a summer driver in the frozen north country.

Congrats on the milestone!

I think its great that you get to drive yours everyday!! I am supplied with a company truck, a 2005 F-150 extended cab that all the fuel is paid for. So since I hav a free cushy truck to drive everyday the ol 49 stays parked alot.
