Hello from Idaho

Post by F100builder »

I have looked at this site and roamed the forums for quite a while now before ever owning a bumpside and now I can say that I'm a proud owner of a '69 390 powered shorty 2WD! I love these trucks and old Ford trucks in general! Here's my 'new' bumpside truck with my '56 under the wrench in the background. I look forward to meeting people and building my knowledge on the '67-'72's.

F100builder,

Two bull elk, (the one was dead when the game officers made it there).
They had to saw the main beam from the one to save the other one.

Welcome!

Nice trucks by the way.

I hate to inform you though, the bed on the 69 is the wrong color and must be removed immediately. I will be over shortly to confiscate the mismatched bed in an effort to save you from further humiliation. Don't try to thank me, its the least I can do. :wink:

Thanks Thunderfoot! I tried looking at your pics but I keep getting the 'fatal error' like I've seen some people are getting. In fact, I haven't been able to look at any galleries so far. :cry:
