Post by Broncodawg »

Great site, so much info! Got a herd of Fords altho most are future projects. Building a 24 x40 carport to get the 99 E 450 motorhome and a couple of the rigs out of the sun while working on them. My pride and joy is a 58 F100 4x that is all there, mostly rust free and ready for restoration. Have enuf 4xs, so not sure if want to lose the 4x and build a street rod out of it or not. 77 bronco is a built trail rig with efi, crawler gear box and 37" tires. 83 E 350 4x van runs and is a baja expedition project. 67 F100 SWB was a freebie on its way to the crusher, no engine and altho cab is straight, the bed is very rough and may be trash.
Hope to pick up a lot of tips here and have some to share to.
What in the heck is a "bump"? Thot it was a stepside, but see fleetsides called that too? Got to start learnin the jargon.
See you in the Forum.
The Herd: 58' F100 4x, 67' F100 SWB, 77' F250, 79' F350 4x, 97' PSD 4x, 75'&77' EB, 83' E350 4x

Welcome from Idaho!

Sounds like you have a lot of nice old 4x rigs, you'll have to get us some pictures of them :thup:

"Bump" refers to the body side shape of the truck. Check out this http://www.fordification.com/forum/view ... hp?t=34787 :wink:

Yeah, sure do, but it's my trail rig, so can't part with them. The 75 EB only needs a cam to get it back on the road too.

Thanks all for the welcome, seems like a busy site!
