New guy from Norman, Oklahoma

Hello all,
I just joined.
My daily driver is an '18 f150 FX4 with the 5.0.
This last Saturday, I bought 2 1955 F100 pickups.
Both are Custom Cab Models and are in really good physical condition.
1 is complete from front to back including the original inline 6 and Trans.
The 2nd is a V8 model but is missing the drive train.
I'm thinking of restoring the complete truck to original and the V8 to a hot rod.
I'm looking forward to hanging out here and learning as much as I can.
Regards,
Chris

Welcome, i daily a ‘19 f150, so far been a good truck. I have always loved the 50’s era trucks just have never quite messing with the bump sides long enough to own one. Maybe one of these days I will own a 56

Heya neighbor!
Welcome to the group, from the southwest side of the metro area turnpike spur.
I guarantee you won't find a better board anywhere than the 48-56 FTE crew!
Nice projects!
Let me know if there's anything you're hunting for - I might have it on hand with my modest collection.
I'm almost always up for trading.

it Looks great! l used the Fatman fab basic kit on mine and sourced the rest. I will definitely buy a complete kit on my next one. So much easier and probably cheaper in the long run
