Hi Folks,
I've been a Ford guy for a long time with my current vehicles being a pair of 1 1/2 ton flatbeds, a 1934 and 1935. Now I'm getting into the '67-'72 era and wow is it interesting. The resources on this website alone make it worth buying something to work on. Very cool...!

Re: New guy from Campbell, CA
Good afternoon Chris,
I'd love to see photos of your unusual flatbeds some time, if you feel like putting them up here!
As you can see I live down in Salinas, but I often work in San Jose near SJC. One of these days I'll be taking my truck up there for show-and-tell, and I'll be sure to let you know in case you're curious to drive over and check it out. Here's my build thread in case you're curious to see it: Main #50 Project Thread: 1972 F250 4x2; 8,100lb GVW; FE+T18.
Are you thinking of buying a Bumpside ('67-'72) project?
Thanks for joining Chris; it's fun to see more folks from this area on here.
