Hey folks!

Post by tronman »

East Texas here, just bought the twin to the truck I had over 20 years ago in High School. :D Happened to see it sitting behind a local dealership the other day and had to have it. 1967 F100 short stepside in off white 240 straight six 3 speed converted to floor shift(and amazingly it actually shifts perfectly, I don't know how many times I've seen 3 speed floor shifters that feel more like a screwdriver in a bucket of marbles than a shifter). I'll have some pictures to post soon.

I couldn't believe the condition of this truck, the man who did the restoration took his time and did it right. It was painted a few years ago and is in need of a good wax job, but the interior is like a new truck! Apparently everything was stripped when it was redone, even the fuel tank behind the seat, floors, engine bay!

Anyway I'll post some pictures soon, just wanted to say hello.
