Hey everyone! I'm new to the site.
I just bought a '66 Ford F100 Custom Cab!
(still waiting for it to be delivered)
Been a while since I owned a Ford, and I'm looking forward to it.

Hoping someone here can point me in the right direction
to a site that tells you what each number & letter means
in a VIN number.

Hello fun_suv!

You may receive an unfinished reply as I hit the wrong key. Ooops!

Dohgee, a female is also white and I am fortunate as I am home almost 24/7 except when I have to go for supplies. The Jindo is, without question, the most remarkable dog that I have ever experienced in my 54 years! My brother worked in Veterinary Medicine so I have access to excellent information as well as saving a lot of money! You know the jist of most DVM's; JUST BRING HER IN! Translation: MONEY!!

Go to wikipedia.org and enter Korea Jindo if you have not already and there is a link at the bottom from Kwang Lo or similiar and view page 12 where there is a cousin of the Jindo and read the part regarding the Siberian Tiger. Most do not realize what the list of the 24 Extremely Rare Breeds are capable of!

Dohgee is tenacious and fearless and continually chases off packs of wild dogs or Coyotes without hesitation! Pit Bulls? Bring them on! They do not have a chance!

Hey, if you are at the front of the Opening Ceremonies of the 1988 Seoul Olympics as the Jindo was then well, you know the rest.

Take care and Godspeed!

Thanks for the reply recognizing an amazing animal!

Mark

Hey Aaron ! Welcome to the site. Anything you want to know about that truck, you can find out here on FTE. Click the link in my signature and it will take you to the sign up page to join the SoCal/Hawai'i FTE chapter, if you would like. We have a get together most every month somewhere around SoCal.

Hi Steve! Thank you as you are most kind. I used to live in Long Beach near Cherry Ave. and South St. It is indeed a "small world" sometimes!

I spent a lot of time in Tehachapi years ago as a friend owned 80 Acres in the Mountains. This was in the 70's and is the 10 (?) Lane Bowling Alley still there?
I can only imagine how Tehachapi has grown!

Sounds like a Navy man - I'm gonna call you Chief until you tell me not to.
Welcome aboard the SoCal/Hawai'i chapter of FTE!
Hello Steve

No not a Navy man you can call me Chris. Thanks for the welcome and here is a little about me:
It started when I recieved a 1973 F100 4x4 that I put in a 429 CJ that was an awesome truck until I rolled it offroading but than put on a new cab bed and body switched out the axles from 1/2 ton to 3/4 ton with all new suspension than lost it when I couldn't afford storage and they auctioned it off.
I have owned a couple of F150's and now have a 2006 F250 SD Crew cab V10 2WD and a 2003 Explorer 4x4 I use the F250 for work and towing my 5th wheel toy box or my boat to do some fishing.

I live and work here in Murrieta.

Hello to all.

Just a meet & greet kind of deal, so far. We really are just starting to get the chapter off the ground. Eventually, I would like to see us plan some activities such as trailing, a get together with the Nevada Chapter & other family-oriented type things. Always open for suggestions in this regard.

At our last get together, we ate, checked out each others trucks and b/s'd a little bit (ok, a lot).
