New member, but I have used these threads to troubleshoot some problems with my 2003 F150 XLT 5.4L supercab 4x4. I bought it about a year ago for a steal and put a couple grand into it. Not to mention around 150hrs (guessing). I love this truck and even at 322,000 miles it still goes sideways when you punch it.
Im a newb I've got a 1949 f1 flathead 6 three
speed. I hope I can get the help from all the experts on here I've got a lot of questions and not sure where to post them all help is welcomed . Thanks
Bob for 28 yrs.young you really must have your s--t together, and a good job. you have beautiful rig and something to be proud of not to mention all the hard work you have put into it. Keep it up your going places, hard work and dedication that's all it takes, there's not a force on earth that can stop that

at the top of the page click on forums and scroll down to antique and classic trucks there is a forum just for the older classic's like yours. I'm still bumbling my way around but getting a little better each time good luck and what a cool truck, i had a 50 once upon a time
Just wanted to introduce myself. I just purchased a 1976 F250. I am looking forward to learning as much as possible about these trucks. My dad had a 68 F100 when I was a kid. I am a female but love to try working on vehicles myself but I have no actual training etc. I research and read as much as I can about any vehicle I own and when it needs work done I try to handle it myself (some stuff is too complicated but if I can do I certainly will try).

Dana you sound like your all heart, I love people who are not afraid to get their hands dirty, and get tired of helping those who wont even try to help themselves. And kudos on the researching of your vehicles, thats where it all starts. Best of luck and welcome to F.T.E.
Hi I'm Krys and after my husband's death this summer I inherited his 1960 Ford F100 so I joined this forum to see what help and such could be offered for someone like me who has very little knowledge about vehicles in general. But I do love this truck so hopefully we'll be in touch!

Welcome to F.T.E. Krys and what a great truck, I can't tell from the pic but is it 4 wheel drive? I also own a 1960 mine is a F250 4x4 but a long way from going down the road unless it's on my car trailer. keep in mind there is a special section just for our older classics
I have 3 donor vehicles.
1958 Ford F100 poor condition (Blue) grandparents truck
1958 Ford F100 poor condition (Black) Wrap-Around Rear Window, uncle's truck
2007 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor.
My hope is to bounce ideas and use the site as a sounding board on this project.
My goal is to have a "Farm Fresh" patena look as possible with any new showing to be a patched appearance.
I'm local to the Kansas City, MO area.
Any help, ideas, or comments are appreciated.

Those wrap around back windows are way cool, I hope that's the body you end up choosing. And the Patina look certainly has a following but in my mind there is no beating a really clean straight well painted truck, but that's just my opinion and you know what they say about opinions. Good luck with your project I cant wait to see some pics
My first truck was a 1960 F100 with the 292, my second was a 85 F150 Stepside. I currently own a 2013 F150 Platinum but found an old 85 to restore for nostalgic reasons. I love Ford trucks. I am a maintenance electrician and dabble in hobby electronics. I am also a HAM operator KM4TCO. Looking forward to tapping into the wealth of experience of all the users on this site. Thanks

Thank you very much Hanks other son, I have put a lot of hard work into it. As far as having my s--t together, I've always felt like I'll get it together the day after I die Honestly my job as a machinist and working on my Excursion have been an outlet for me; focusing on them has helped me get through some tough times. I see you are a fellow Oregonian! What part of the state are you in?
New member here. My son and I are working on a '67 F-100 2WD. Just like most people who made the mistake of buying a '67, we are looking for those hard to find '67 only trim pieces. Please let me know if you have any to sell. Thanks!
