A new ride...

No pictures yet, but I found my new truck. Picked it up wed. night after work.
2001 F150. 4.6L, 4x4 5spd. Has a nice cap, and brush guard. Pretty clean for what it is. Alot better than the old one, especially after the "accident" as we'll call it.

You might want to invest in a couple of chock blocks to keep this one dry, just in case..
Congrats....

I hear the tune "Back in the saddle again " playing in the background..

And No Ken that wasn't a reference to his ride in the VIP room..

Its cake...

Just mouse over the "Galleries" thing in the top list right below the Sporttrack in the FTE logo.
When the drop-cown menu appears click on the manage/create

then click on the "create album" word and go from there. It should be able to brouse your computer for your pics.

There is also www.photobucket.com
you use your email to set up a free account on it and its the same. either just download pics or create an album and than down load pics into the album.

Well... here. I need better pictures but I need to give it a good detailing. Every time we have good weather, I'm busy. Everytime I have time, It rains. So is life.
