Hi guys just wanted to say hi. I just joined this chapter. I have a 77 f250 ranger 4x4 w/351m (400), automatic trans that i am restoring. I am currently painting the motor and components Ford red. I will post some pics of the truck when i get that back together. I do have a long way to go however. I need to do all the body work on the cab and front clip. The box is rotting off so i am going to go with a steel flatbed (totally custom of course).I made my own sandblaster out of an old propane tank, so i use that to clean up all the parts i am painting. They actually turn out really nice.

Welcome! Always glad to have more members! I had a 75 F100 once upon a time that I restored. I did a lot of stuff. I'll have to find some pics...
