New to your boards

Hi evryone, I may be new and excited about registering to your boards, and I really am. But I not a new Ford truck owner. I have had a 47 and 53. My first car was a 1930 Model A, and then a 47 sedan. Lots of great memories. I presently own a F250 XLT 4x4 shortbed, V10, Auto etc. It has been a great truck. No problems, and I mean none..
I'm presently thinking about getting a new 2007 diesel, or the 2008 with the 6.4 diesel. I want to load up a camper and tow my boat around the Northwest.
So I hope you guys can provide the answers as which truck would be better suited. I'm alittle leary of the new trucks 6.4 engines fuel mileage and their price. So what do you guys think? Sloughboy

Welcome, it sounds like you had some neat old Fords.
For good info on your truck choice drop into the General Diesel Discussion forum https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum171/ as well as some of the other diesel discussion forums.
Be sure to visit your local Ca chapter soon.

Thumbs up 56 Ford F-100

Hi,

I am new to the site. I am in the process of a frame off total restoration 56 Ford F-100. This includes 351 Windsor, AOD transmission, IFS, 4/bar link rear suspension, IDIDIT Steering, Air, Disk Brakes, and 9" Ford Posi Rear End. I hope to have something to offer and also learn from others who may have done what I hope to do.
