Thanks!

This is my very first post and I just want to say THANKS! to you all.

With all of your help I was able to resurrect a much neglected ’75 F-100 and turn it into a real reliable and fun to drive truck! When I bought her for $900 she needed a new clutch and ran really bad. I love the old F-100s so I bought it as a fun project. After many hours of reading your posts and many months of work, she probably runs better than when she was brand new.

Thanks all for your unknowing support and your years of knowledge (especially Mil1ion and his vacuum diagrams!).

She’s not very pretty, but she’s mine and I love her!
Take care,
Brian

Hey Brian,
Congrats on your first post and welcome to the forum and FTE!

What do you mean, she isn't pretty!?!?!? That is one nice shortbed! I love the scratched and original patina, don't change a thing!!!

Original survivors kick butt!

Congrats, and Welcome. and I have to agree with everyone else.
that is a fine lookin Truck! and I know that you think so too.
anyone that dont agree just dont git it!
I just went down and had my 76 4x4 F250 Highboy inspected and my buddy
that works there was tryin to give me Removed about drivin that " Big Ol Redneck Truck "
I said REMOVED Using those words will get you time off of FTE Admin I dont care who likes it and who dont, I'm the one drivin it ,
Fixin it and the one who pays for the gas it takes to drive it!
I will never go back to driving another little eco box again, I Love My Big Boy!!
after those words of joy they stopped razzin me and spoke they're true feelings
about it and that was " They Liked It!!"
everyone does, they just dont know it yet!!
if ya dont know?, now ya know!!
enjoy the ride man!!
