Hi. I'm new to the forum after stumbling onto FORDification.com. Today I am celebrating the start of my 3rd month as a former smoker. As a reward and as a way to keep busy instead of smoking I picked up a POS 1972 F100 long bed. The money that used to go up in smoke is going to help me restore/repair/customize a truck. It's something I've always wanted to do but never seemed to have time and having just crested over the half century mark I figured I'd better get started.
I will admit that this will be a learning experience for me. I know a little and can figure out some, but...It'll be a learning experience. In fact, I wish to say thanks to the moderator. I have learned so much from his website and I carry a list with me of what other year truck parts will work on my '72.
Now if the Western WA summer ever gets here. The rain hasn't warmed up yet

I hope that 'POS' stands for 'Pretty Old School' - cuz we all have a soft spot in our hearts for these old trucks!
You'll have a great distraction to keep you busy. It's a valiant undertaking, and I hope you're successful (at both the truck and the quitting smoking!)
Post up some pix of the truck when you can.
