Greetings

Greetings from God's Country, Arkansas!

Recently ran across this forum after aquiring a 97 F150 this past week from my grandparents for the sum of $5K after they purchased them a new vehicle.

I must say I have enjoyed the truck since getting it two days ago, but I do have some plans for it, and that is why I am here, to get ideas, look at trucks with mods, and to make friends and have a good time.

I hope everyone has a happy holiday season, and without further wait, here are a few photos of my F150, bone stock at the moment, but that will be changing quick, fast, and in a hurry.

That is just barely broken in and should give you many more miles to enjoy it. Have fun!

Nice truck looks good for the the age not a bad price you paid either one thing i know is that if it already hasn;t done it it will is that the metal will start to crack on the door by the glass in the lower right hand corner of the glass on the driver side i think one way to prevent this is by taking it easy when rolling up the window. thanks for joining the forum

Great looking truck, there, Raz! In the last photo, is that an aftermarket transmission cooler behind the grill? Kind of looks like one, and I am thinking about putting one on my newly acquired '02 F150. Keep the pics coming as you do the mods.

Arkansas??? you missed the mark a little there bud.... Arkansas is just North of the True God's Country..... but, I can see where you can get confused - all of our shining glory bled over the Red River.

that's a good looking truck - enjoy!!

Good Lord, I hope you are not talking about Louisiana! I was stationed at Ft Polk for 3 years, and was in New Orleans after Katrina hit.

Needless to say, if New York and California are the arm pits of America, Ft Polk has to be the sweaty *****.
