Smile Hello I'am Mike

I am just getting going on this computer stuff. I have a 1974 F250, and I am starting a full resteration on my 1967 mustang. I love my truck. She has a 390ci. motor,1200 lbs wench,35 in. tires,and duel exsost that come out before the rear. I just put a new wiring harnis in her. Most people roll there eyes when I tell them I left the points in but thay let me spend a little more time under the hood, and they work just fine. I am also a hunter safety instructor. I work in a hydrolic repare shop were I weld, and wrench on cranes, tracktors, trucks, and everything else with hyd.

Welcome Mike! It is great to have another Ford truck owner who likes to work on his truck. I live over the hill from you Vallejo. Welcome to the site. You will find lots to learn about and to share with others.

Hi Mike, welcome! I'm up in the hills at Clear Lake, not too far from you. You've found a great place to hang out here with a lot of good folks.

Good looking truck you have there! This chapter is building a 4X4 project truck to use in mud drags...maybe we could jut use yours as is...

Oh and be sure to join the chapter here if you haven't already done so. Just click on this link:

Hey Mike,
I too have a 74 F250, with short exhaust and points ignition. However, I am riding on 33" tires though, but some day...
When are you doing the hunter safety course. I have some questions for you later regarding the course, if you should put one on some time.

Welcome Mike,

I have worked so much on my son's '73 F250, I kind of know it inside and out. Literally. We rebuilt it as a 360 because we like running regular and didn't want to spend the extra on the crank and rods... (it needed new pistons anyway).

BTW, if your truck is a stock 4x4, you can call it a '74 highboy. Everyone here will know exactly what you mean.
