Talking Take a look at my new gallery,1956 F600

I tried forever to build my gallery,and finally my wife did the picture transfers.I am not computer savvy,so hope to add more pics soon.I was envious of Ksmith and his gallery was taking off like an American Hot Rod super truck build-off!!!!I am now ''ON THE BOARD''!!!!!

WOOHOOO!!!!

We love pics!!! Thats a great looking truck! Thats pretty cool that you have the chrome grille.

I have a hard time getting pics in also. It can be a pain in the rear but eventually it all works out. After a couple of pics you get it figured out, then a month or two goes by and you are ready to load some more and you have to start from scratch all over again as you've completely forgetten the process.

The reason that I haven't loaded any more pics to my gallery is when I try to get in to edit my gallery, Internet Explorer freezes up. Looks like I'll have to try on my other computer, as this one won't even let me sign in to FTE on Mozzila Firefox, it just goes back to the sign in screen.

I'm envious of those that can load new pics and those that can do anything with these &^#$%@ computers.
Oh yeah, nice looking truck.

That is a really cool truck. Looks very solid. I sure hope you're going to use it to haul stuff. With 21,000 miles on it, it's like a time capsule!

Cool truck Walford, do you know where to get those wire terminals that are on your fluid brake switch? I rigged some on mine because I couldnt find that original style.

Wow. So that is what my '56 is supposed to look like. Great truck! I have a painted '56 grille I'll trade for that chrome one.

Yeah, Walford56, born and raised in Blue Ridge(haven't lived there since 1957). Very familiar with the "rapids" they created for the Olympics. Look forward to seeing you guys.

Great looking Truck; I always wonder what you guy's did with those big F600 & 700's; Sounds like an awesome plan of turning that grain hauler into a multi-tasking hauler & Super Nat's camper. I got my eye on an old Ford fire truck ( can't remenber if its a 52 or 53; They say the memory is the second thing to lose LOL; just waiting premission to get it.
Again nice solid Truck. Glad to see it is in good hands.
