Hello everyone

Hey guys I recently acquired an 82 F-350 dually. Looking to clean it up to a decently reliable driver and also have some fun with it. I’ve done some searching and really haven’t found much in the way of replacement parts or aftermarket parts to restore/ refresh this truck... I joined this forum to hopefully get pointed in the right direction and have fun and learn along the way.

F100 / F450

I have a 1995 F450 with a 350 cab and a 67 F100 both 2wd. Pretty mechanically minded but learning more every day.

Hi From Northern CA

Long time lurker....

I have a 1972 F-250 Camper Special that I am working on to get road ready. The 360 is barely getting up hills (only get 90 compression on 5), so not sure if it is a replace, rebuild or fix situation.

Plenty of other items to keep me busy too.

Hi Folks,
New to the forum. I am picking up a 2019 F350 in the next few days that I'm super excited about. Have been lurking the threads here for a while, which was super helpful when shopping around, ordering the truck, and now for considering mods!

You misunderstand. I am not doing a water pump. I used the task of replacing the 3" hose between the water pump and the block, without replacing the water pump as a reference for common ground and an example of the frustrating nature of Ford engineering. I surmise that at some point in history a mechanic slept with a Ford engineer's wife and they've had it out for us ever since. This was not a technical question and I don't need help with it as I've done it on the side of the road in bad weather with no access to new parts and before the advent of cellular phones. I hope this clears things up.

Ford owner//ford enthusiast

Hello all
My name is William and I live on the central coast of California. I own a 1955 F600 that is or was an Idaho parks fire support truck. I’m hoping to find a bit of info from some of the Ford experts on this forum. I’ve worked on the truck for seven years now and drive it daily.

Family ford resurrection



Hello all. I’m starting work on my 1966 f500 purchased new by my grandpa used for hauling film reals to theaters in Seattle and surrounding areas. Then used by my father for small deliveries at his trucking company before him and my uncle converted it to a ramp bed for a small excavating company. I aquired it for a jeep hauler but haven’t used it for 10 years. Time for a rehab.

New the Super Duty world

Hi, I am new to the Super Duty world. Just picked up a 2017 F-250 Powerstroke Lariat with 14k miles on it. This will be my daily driver and tow vehicle for a couple of Jeeps I own. Looking forward to learning the new things I can do to from

this web site. I have had many Ford trucks over the years, the most recent one was a 2016 F-150 eco boost.

Hey all, Glad I found this group!

I've got a 1979 f150 with a 1971 429 - total frankenstein - but so fun.

Cheers!

Glen
