New member from MN

Post by BigIron »

Great to have this site available for a rookie car restorer like myself. I have a 68 f350 crew cab that my dad bought new just for family camping so it never saw a MN winter. Brother in CA inherited it in 86, drove it some, gave it a black eye on the passenger front fender, then I drove it back to MN in 2003. I am in the process of getting it back together from a frame off restoration. This vehicle is in sharp contrast to the 1963 Triumph TR4 that I've worked on a few years ago that is my wife's driver. You can carry that transmission in one arm! This site has already helped a bunch. Thanks!
