Talking Brought home another 56-ya-hoooo!!!!

I found another 56 and brought her home this week-end. I still have parts to go back and get,but now I have a 56 F100---ya---ha-hoooo!!! I am sooo happy and found it through FTE. I have so many parts now--wife says to start a 56 EFFIE swap meet myself. I have been building these F600s for a while now and it is a pleasure to have a little truck...It feels like a toy!!
Anyway I am thankful to my new FTE buddy,and hope to have this baby painted up and a part of the family....Bill

I finally had the pleasure to meet Bill and his wife over the weekend. I just want everyone to know that he is a great guy and unrecoverable asset to FTE. It was great to finally meet a FTE member in person and put a face to a thread. Don't worry about Bill's truck getting finished, the "Shore" crew down here on the AL/TN line will do its part to make that happen. Good luck to all unfinished projects and gods speed.

I think the ''shore'' crew could build one heck of a effie beast-LOL I really admire lastchance55 of his wrenching ability and his truck and all his shop is class A in my book. I would hope the ''shore'' team would keep my projects all FORD and no CHEVY byproducts!!!! LOL---inside joke!!! The area lastchance55 is a big che-- area and he outdoes all these guys with his ford effies. Again thanks Rod!!! I hope you can make a trip up North and see how vintage tin RUSTS up here!!!!!!! LOL!!
pICTURES SOON GUYS---I have to have the wife do that---and she is gettin' tired of all the FORD stuff LOL!!!!!!! Bill
