New guy from Colorado

Post by CO684X4 »

Just thought i would pop in and say Hi. This site is great, have found lots of info here. I picked up a 1968 F100 4x4 a few weeks ago. I have wanted one of these since I was 16. Now I finally found a good one. Some info on the truck, 390, NP435, NP205, 77 DISC HPD44, 33's, Edelbrock 1405 carb, holley intake and some other goodies. Very little rust. I fired it up and drove it home 135 miles without a glitch. not bad for a 40 year old truck. Things to come are paint and body work and a 6inch lift. This will be a DD truck. tried to post a pic but it wouldnt work.
