Hello, new here

Hi everyone, I'm new to the site
I just wanted to share my truck with everyone.
I took a long look at my friend's '66 f100 basketcase and had hopes of restoring it while I searched for the truck I wanted. My goal was to put together a 1/2 ton long bed truck with a 300 and a manual trans. While I searched for parts trucks for my buddies 66, I found an add for the truck I ended up buying. I got a 75 f100 that absolutely fit the bill, inline 6, three on the tree, and custom cab trim. I plan on learning a lot from everyone on this site, I plan to ask a lot of questions. Thanks in advance,
Matt.

welcome to FTE!

like everyone said go ahead and ask if you have a question. if you have any pics of your truck either post them in the "Post a pic of your 2wd" thread or "Show 'em 4x4 pics" thread. from what I can tell it looks pretty good.
