New on the 4th

Post by Luft Krigare »

What a better way to wish everybody a hello and happy 4th of July than with a great old truck.

Hi, my name is Dave, and 20 years ago my stepdad and I built my beautiful '69 F100 from a cab and a frame. She is a great old gal that unfortunately I've had parked over the last 5 years or so, but I've got her running and licensed again. I have a couple of teenagers and getting a vehicle just for me has been tough, so my happy solution was "Missy Gwen".

Looking around for parts, and a wiring diagram because of brake light issue, I stumbled upon this wonderful site. I look forward to talking with you all and maybe picking your brains for ideas to make my old Ford even better.

Skol!

Welcome from Texas. sounds like a love story to me. Ironically that is how I found this site looking for wiring info on my '69. This is great place with great folks and multitudes of info.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Speaking of a truck with history...
My eldest child was conceived in the back during a camping trip over 18 years ago, giving it not only an emotional link for me but for my wife.

Here's a picture of the old gal:

(Hope the picture isn't too big.)
