Nwebie in Olympia WA

Post by dangeRUSS »

Howdy all. Let me introduce my self, my screen name says I'm dangeruss, but don't worry, it's just a play on words. :D

I just bought a very sweet '69 F250 from the second owner with 63,800 original miles. The first owner was the father in law to the man I bought it from, so the mileage is accurate. She's got a 360 that runs like a dream and the NP 4 speed. She had split rims with deep lug bias ply tires, changed them out for newer one piece rims and radial tires, what a difference! Not many options, but that is the way I like trucks to be, armstrong steering never leaks fluid in the driveway.:wink:

Looking forward to tapping into the knowledge pool around here and having some fun.

I know what you mean about the armstrong steering too, (drove a 73 for 10 years in downtown traffic with a clutch to boot)!
