Hello!
I recently purchased a 1968 Ford F-100 240 inline-6. She's beautiful, I named her Lucy! 2-tone black and white paint job, 3-speed converted to floor shifter. New distributor, master cylinder, plugs, carb, brake hoses, wheel cylinders, windshield, carpeting, and some other odds and ends.
I'm not a mechanic but I am pretty handy and feel that I can fix anything with the right attitude and background information. I'm also new to driving manual and pretty much stick to low traffic areas when driving manual for now. My ultimate goal is to drive this truck in a local parade with a POW-MIA flag flying in the bed!
I figured y'all are more interested in my truck than me, but hopefully you'll learn a thing or two about me as well
