New Guy from Calif.
Hello To all. I guess I am the FNG. I have been driving my F250 since 76 I'm the second owner we have hauled all sorts of things thru the years and any time there was a problem with her I would just go down to the auto parts store pick up what I needed tear her down and fix it. (except that one time I had a small electrical problem when the piston came out of the engine and cut the battery cable)
I will be in the process of restoring her in the next few months and after checking the site out I thought this would be a good place to hang out and learn I have always driven Fords I started with a 56 and went up from there So I will chime in from time to time if I can help and if some of you can check out the parts wanted I need a couple of things right off
Thank you
FS
