New truck owner

Post by eggtimer »

Greetings:

I just found this site and have enjoyed browsing the forum and pics. I recently (last week) purchased this truck and am really excited to have it! It's a 1968 F250 390 4-speed. It was a one owner vehicle with only 57k original miles. It has a utility bed and is powered by propane. I'm looking forward to learning more about these great trucks and thank you all in advance for your help.

Oh my! A propane powered FE! That is Awesome! One thing you will love, is that propane rigs have spotlessly clean engines. Propane leaves behind zero carbon deposits and your oil will always look as clean as the day you put it in. That truck will last you a Very Long Time! What a great find, and clean looking truck!
