New guy in TX
Hey, I recently bought a 1972 F100 and I love it. I have some small plans for it, but the po had already done a bit of work. It has a 360 or 390 (I'm not sure which) a c6 transmission, and disc brakes off a 76 up front. Don't hold it against me, but I've owned mostly GM in the past, including a 56 Buick Special, a 56 Chevy wagon, an 84 Cutlass, and a 90 Sierra. Sorry. I'm looking forward to learning about my truck and checking out all of yours! Anyway, here's a few pics of my new truck.

Also welcome from TX. watch out for the truck to wonder on older twin I-beams. I got pulled over for suspect DUI in the 72 I had back in the day.
