Hello Raymond here

I was wanting to tell all you cool Ford people a little about me and my ford. I just got it a mo. ago and love it. I was taught how to drive in a 1968 ford I love it then too I told the the guy who taught me I would own A old ford truck one day well now is the time (lol). I have a 1986 Ford F150 with a I-6 300 in it I think it would pull about anythingit's so low geared. but thats ok it looks good and going to look better as time gose on. About me I'm a 27 year old walmart asst. manager and I like to work on my truck or what ever I'm driving at the time. I have rc cars (like them too lol) I have 2 great kids and one on the way just found out it was a boy that makes 2 nowand one girl. I have a very understanding wife that loves me much and well lifes pretty good. I'm hoping to find good firends and a place to kick back and talk about cars(trucks). Well I think thats about it for now and I hope this is the place for me so till then .....
Raymond

Hey welcome,
Where is Plains KS? You'll find we are a decent bunch. The new chapter leader is a great guy, ans his asst. isn't too bad either. There is at least one G2G a month and I encurage you to try and make one. Or try to have one yourself and invite all, if there is a car show, swapmeet, or anything in your area.

Welcome Raymond, I have an 84 f150, with the 300, I got the exact opposite situation as you, it won't pull much, but its almost high enough geared to do 60 mph in first gear. What transmission does yours have?

Welcome to the KS Chapter Raymond. This is a great place to hang out and you won't find better folks anywhere. I'm out in Utah now and don't have regular contact, but I'll be back in a week or so. We have a gtg every month and a few already planned. I look forward to meeting you at one.

Fist of off the g2g's, we usually have a thread dedicated to deciding when and where to have the g2g, usually followed by a poll so everyone can vote. Then we usually have a thread stating when and where it will be and everyone posts up if thy will be able to attend. But all in all you just gotta watch the forums for more info. We usually have the g2g around the 2nd sat. of every month but that varies with holidays and peoples schedules and what not.

As far as your pictures you can upload them to your gallery by going to the top bar of this page and click where it says "user CP" from there you can change or modify all your settings along with joining a specific chapter and modify or creat your gallery.

I check the chapter in the morning, and every night (almost every night anyway). It keeps me up to date on everything. G2G's are as fordnut (Duane) has said. In fact there should be a poll going up for the next months G2G soon, And one for the Movie night.

Glad to have you aboard, um ... on the board, but don't get bored.

It is a pretty slick truck all except for that #20. J/K welcome to the chapter you will find some very useful info on these boards as well as some that isn't very useful but is worth a grin.
