Newbie from Australia.

G,day all
I have recently purchased my first F100 a 1979 2wd with a 351 cleveland motor. And i have to say i am as happy as a pig in poo with my purchase.
I don't know what it is about this truck, but i love driving it despite its lack of power steering, multiple squeaks and rattles and its incredible thirst for fuel.
I have joined the Australian Ford forums where i was informed that this is the place to come for the best tech tips.
I am looking forward to picking the brains of some of you knowlegeble folk in regards to a few things, not least is finding some plans or drawings to fabricate a tray back for my truck due to the excessive rust in my well back.
So i hope to hear from some of you in the forums when i start asking inane questions because i have a feeling that this truck is going to end up costing me a lot of time and money.

Regards
Crowey
