new guy from Fort Hood
Hello Well like the subject says I am station at Fort Hood. I am currently in Afganistan deployed with the Army. I actually call South Carolina home. I do not currently own a F100 but my first vehicle and the one that I learned to drive in was a 72 F100 Sport Custom LWB with a 302, C4 trans, No power anything drum brakes, Over 700k miles and three tone (Sky Blue, White, And Rust). My dad gave me that truck it was his since 1978 and he gave it to me in 1995 I had it till 1997 It fell victom to FCD (first car syndrome). I have been trying to find another ever since then. I've managed to own several other FoMoCo products since the. But I have never found another 70-72 F100 LWB since. I state the 70-72 because that is my favorite grilles on those trucks. Well That is the short of my story. Look forward to talking to y'all

I'm stationed at Hood and am over in A-stan too. Bumps can be found all over Texas and I run into at least 3 a day on Craigslist.
