Live from Memphis, TN

Post by basshound71 »

Hey eveybody. I just bought a 71 Ford F100 Custom and am finding all kinds of cool stuff online like this site. My truck has a 240 with a 4 speed. My grandpa had one of the same body style when I was a little kid and always liked the bodies. I found this one and had my eye on it for about 4 years and it finally came up for sale and my awesome wife coughed up the money and said lets go buy it. I have only had it 2 weeks and am absolutly loving it. :woohoo:

I agree. She is great. Sold my last toy when we got married 18 yrs ago. Finally got one back. Last one was a 78 Dodge warlock package truck with a 440. Think I better stick with the ford 240. The 440 cost me ALOT of money in tickets and insurance
