New guy from Macon

Hi everybody!

Just joined this site a few day's ago. I have a 1965 F-100, 88 Mustang GT, and I am thinking about getting a 1979 F-150 4x4.


Glad to meet everyone!

Thanks for the welcome!
Looks like a great site. I have a 1965 F-100, 460ci, C-6, and a 1988 mustang GT.
I am looking for a 78-79 F-150 4x4 sb, or a 78-79 Bronco, for a hunting/mudding truck.
I have had a hard time finding what I am looking for. I don't care what the body looks like, rust or dents o.k. I just need it to have good engine & trans,
and be able to go 100 miles back and forth to hunting club.
I am looking to spend $500-$1500.


Thanks again for the nice welcome.

Cory

Thanks for the welcome 3broncocrazy.
Great site and tons of information.
Thanks for keeping on eye out for me/you. I am just looking for 78-79 Bronco or 79 F-150 4x4 for hunting, mudding. I need it to be reliable because I drive from Macon to Tifton to hunt. Everything I find is to nice (good body, engine, trans, $2500-$4000) or beat to hell (rust bucket, blown engine-trans, or parts truck. I just want something in between (good engine-trans, dont care about the looks, $500-$1500).

Thanks alot,



Cory

Thank's for the look out GreyRanger4x4. That is a clean Ranger you have, looks like you also have a nice Project Truck!



Hi Berkad,
Thank's for the welcome. I like your 64 F-100. It's funny how those 2 year projects turn into 5 or more. If you're like me, no project is ever finished.

I'm determined to get her on the road this year. Shutting down my business and getting a real job so I can have my life and time back. Can't wait. I am searching for a wiring harness now. Looks like I'm gonna have to have one made.

Thank's for the welcome Half Breed.
I hunt in Berrien County (Tifton area) not to far from you. When I lived in Norcross, it was nice to head down south to get a break from Atlanta. Since I've moved back to Macon it makes the trip alot shorter 1 1/2 hours compared to 3. I really enjoy spending as much time down there as I can.



Hi Berkad,

Good luck on getting the 64 on the road this year. The only suggestion I have on the wiring harness, is to place a wanted ad in 61-66 classified forum, you might find someone who has one. Painless sells one, part #10118, but it is very expensive, maybe $650 (ouch!). If I was you, I would try the 61-65 forum or go to a junkyard and try to find one or make it myself, maybe from a universal harness. I hope this helps you some.

Cory

Hey 3broncocrazy,

It's a small world. I have been hunting in Berrien county now for 4 yrs. and I really like it. We have 9 members and 720 acres in the club I'm in. The land we hunt is surrounded by 2000 acres owned by one of the members. It's nice not having some 50 member club surrounding you. Your welcome to come hunt with me anytime.
Those are some nice Bronco's you have. I love the 78-79 Broncos.
If you ever want to sell one of the 78's let me know, that is exactly what I am looking for.


Thank's alot GreyRanger4x4 for the find.
I'm really looking for a 78-79 Bronco or 78-79 F-150. I love the body style of the 73-79 trucks & Bronco's. I really appreciate you keeping a look out for me. If you do come across any 78-79's let me know, that is if you can pass on them yourself.



Cory
