I am still looking for other people in East Texas who are FTE people too. I see a bunch of Ford trucks. I have the FTE sticker on Brownie passerger side window. JDBanks are there any in your area?

Well, I'm not sure if'n SE of Houston qualifies as "east Texas"... heck I don't even own a Ford nowadays... looking at a '75 F-150 (but it's looking glum )

I've owned 2 Ford trucks, an '83 F-150 (should have kept it) and an '86 Ranger. My grandpa drove a '64 SWB Ford..... forever it seemed. I still remember his using the choke like a cruise control... about 30 mph w/ black smoke 'a rolling out! I'd like to restore one some day.

I reckon I'm too new to Texas (about 18 monts) to be a Texan.. more like a transplanted hilly from Arkansas.

Hello Ya'll, I am in Lovelady, 35 miles NE of huntsville. I believe they call this DEEP East Texas. They say if you get a dozen women from around here in a room, you might have a full set of teeth, I believe it, just go to Brookshires.
I have 4 Ford trucks and they all do me well.
Texas is where it is at, all of it.

I was just looking thru here to see where ya`ll was from. ckrichard, I`m just a hop skip and a jump from you over here in SW Louisiana. DeQuincy that is!! I usually bring my boys over that way to Fairpark to watch Monster Jam and such--- maybe I`ll see you sometimes. And I`ll keep an eye on this post!! Later!!

Hello wille3r, Where do you work welding? I lived in Moss Bluff nearly 5 years, just lived here in SE TX about 20 months now. I worked as a maintenance foreman in Lake Charles. I had 3 great welder on my crew and man, those guys could COOK! I gained 20 pounds in my 16 months at that job... had some good times, too!

Oh, I'm a new Ford guy, too. We bought an '02 F-150 SC XL last Thursday.

Howdy to the forum!
Tommy

Hey Tommy!!!
I work at Citgo for IMC. I usually push a crew also, but things are kinda slow right now, so I`m welding until work picks up. Good to hear from ya. My Grandpa used to live next to the Bluff in Gillis, right in the curve on 171. He`s gone on now. Where did you work?

William, I worked at PPG for 4 1/2 years, about 3 in engineering services, then about 1 1/2 in maintenance in the Silicas plant as a Maintenance Planner and Foreman. That last was a hoot, excepting the bad chemistry w/ the boss. I had Dave Smith as my lead welder and occasional setup as lead-man, a great guy and doggoned good cook to boot!

We lived on Gateway Dr. about 1/2 mile off 171.

I sure miss getting decent boudin down here in League City!!!!!
