Better intorduce myself,..

Hey All! Just wanted to say Hi and do the proper introduction. I am Darrin, and I have been a Ford Truck junkie all my life. Here is a list of some of my previous trucks:

1969 F350 Crew Cab long box 2WD 390 V8
1979 F250 Extended Cab Camper Special 460 V8
1999 F250 Extended Cab 4x4 V10
1988 F250 Extended Cab 4x4 460 V8.

I currently own and drive 2 Ford Trucks, one Droopy the plow truck: 1988 F250 XL Reg Cab Long Box, 4x4, rebuilt 30 0ver 5.0, towing RV cam, Shorty Headers, duals, 2" lift, 5 speed, New Paint, 265: BFG's, Alloys, K&N Intake.

The other is my "real" truck, 1989 F350 Crew Cab 4x4 Diesel, that I bought from California 7 years ago and have been working on it ever sense.

3 years ago it underwent an Extreme Truck Makeover, If you have the time to listen to Sweet Home Alabama, check out the Video:

Big Ed's Extreme Truck Makeover videos from trucks videos on webshots

So that is a quick intro, looks like a great site! hope I can be an assethere.

have a great day,
Darrin

Very sweet and nice video.
Sadly I have too many projects at the moment but this is something like what I`d like to do with my 92 F250.
