Hello from So. California

Post by SoCal »

I grew up in a Ford truck world. Learned to drive on a Ford tractor and an old 60 something Ford truck. I have owned nothing but Fords. 4 Ford trucks in the past.

1978 F250 4x4 that was Bad A$$!!!......got stolen and I swear I saw it in Mexico... sore topic. :cry:
1985 Ford Ranger 4x4 great truck.... rebuilt the motor 2x's and rolled it :doh:
1990 Ford Ranger ran the piss out of it :evil:
1990 Ford F150 w/300... best motor I have had in anything besides my CTD :clap:

I went Dodge Cummins Turbo Diesel just for the motor last time. I'd like another pre 78 F250 in my drive as well.
I am looking into a 69 F250 right now and wanted to do some research before I dropped the coin on it. Great site. Looking forward to hanging out here.
