New to the site....but not to old trucks

Post by trapperjack »

Just bought a 70 F-100 for my son and I to work on together to be his first truck. I've had several old Fords, usually 3/4 ton 4x4's, and even had a 69 3/4 ton 4x4 crew for a while. Miss that one more than any I've ever had. We bought the f-100 a couple of days ago. Had been sitting for a while, but the price was right. Looking for info and helpfull hints, maybe parts. A member with a truck for sale here recomended the site, and it looks great. I guess I'll start a project thread on the 70 in the right spot. My son may join in too.
Thanks.
