Hi All!
I am new to this forum and have recently bought my first F Truck!
it is a 79 F100 XLT Short Wheel Base two wheel drive with 351 Cleveland and factory four speed, just a clean original grandad truck that looks great and goes just as well.
just doing a few little tidy ups at the minute and driving / enjoying it! (will post pictures when I learn how to) also having the 4 speed changed over to a C6 (rebuilt for towing) in the next few weeks!
Located in Melbourne Victoria (Australia) and looking forward to asking some seriously stupid questions as I learn my way around the beast!
Cheers
Matt

Hi Matt and welcome, congrats on your first Ford Truck!
Sounds like a nice dream, a 79 F100 XLT Short Wheel Base/351 Cleveland/four speed in nice clean original shape is a sweet ride.
Any questions ask away, there are no stupid questions, just the ones you forget to ask!
Be sure to drop an intro into the International Chapter: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum141/
There seems to be alot of your fellow countryman there.
