Hi everybody




Hi everybody,
I have been reading this forum for a couple of months and it is a great source of
information. Finally, I can post pictures of my old rusty bucket. It is 1960 F100,
4 wheel drive with 8 ft stepside bed, 223 CID straight six. I found this truck in
New Mexico, dragged it to Wyoming and now I am getting to know it.

Welcome

Welcome to the forum, Rustybucket. Glad to see another "fridge" saved from the crusher. Glad to have you. What are your plans for the truck? Looking forward to following your progress. The truck looks pretty solid and should be fun to drive.

Gil

Welcome to the site

Nice looking project; keep the progress pictures coming.

We seem to be in a "full moon phase" right now but it will pass; this site is a wealth of information. Lots of experience here, advice is free.
