just moved to or

Just moved to Garibaldi, few miles north of Tillamook on the coast, just wanted to say hi. I have an 87 f150 4x4 with a 300 six 4spd. Drove it up from CO without a hickup, not bad for over 300k. If anyone has any tips or suggestions about the area, good machine shops, any good yards etc I'm all ears. Thanks, Matt.

Welcome to Oregon, Garibaldi is a nice place. Keep an eye on the rust over there on the coast, salt air can be bad on our older trucks.

Yeah, I grew up in New England so this is a little like going home, lots of rust, no sun.
