1968 F100 SWB w/ 71' Grille

Post by Fish68 »

Hey, Im excited to have found this wealth of knowlege on F100's. I am an Aviation Electronics Technition for the United States Navy and have a passion for these Classic trucks. I purchased my "Dream" truck about 10 months ago and am loving every min of it. Its not perfect in anyway but i enjoy tinkering with it in the time that i have off duty. It is my daily driver and has been upgraded to a 302 from the old 240 stright six motor. Thats about all i have for now. Thanks again for the knowlege and resources!!
