Hello from the New Guy

Hi all, just wanted to introduce myself and looking forward to being part of this forum.
I'm 44 years old and have a 1948 Ford F1 that has been modified. My main truck is a 2002 Ford F-150. Since Ford doesn't build motorcycles I also ride a 2002 Yamaha Roadstar. I live is Saskatoon,Sk and do airbrushing as a hobby.

It's cool to see the little differences between the different years of trucks, such as the "ford" letters on the front of the truck...well in your case "ord" haha. I always wondered what the crank hole in the bottom of the grill was for, was it really for a crank to start the engines? or was it something totally different?

Ya crank hole even too country for me. My 1947 still has a crank sproket on the harmonic balancer though, if I had a crank I could crank it over.
