Soon to be new owner.....FINALLY!
I have been lurking on here for some time now. My 75 Chevy longbed was stolen about 5 years ago. It was specially built for towing a car trailer and was real nice. It will be missed. But for the last couple of years of owning it I was always finding myself staring hard at the 67-69 F-250 trucks. I have reading up on them for the last couple of years and reading everything I can find on here. I decided to sell a couple of cars for room and finally pull the trigger on one. The last car I wanted to get rid of went down the road last week and I am right now looking at two potential F250's local to me. Looking forward to joining the owners club. Also looking forward to possibly adding useful information to some of the topics on here.
