Hello everyone,
I'm a new member as of July 23rd. Wilma Dyer, Canon City, Colorado. I have just traded a Bultaco motorcycle for a 1970 F 100 long box pickup. 302 V-8, three speed column shift. So-so condition. The previous owner began making a street rod out of it and just didn't have the interest in this vehicle, is now looking for a Ranchero to do.
I am not a bright star with computers and am having difficulty moving around the Fordification site. So please forgive me any courtesy errors, posts in the wrong place, etc. I am trying...
Plans for the truck are to lower the rear (front is already down) remove that 25 gallon saddle tank, re-fit that awful in-cab fuel tank to where the spare tire now lives. A four barrel carburetor and manifold, headers and duals. And of course paint and wheels and upholstery.
Wilma

Re: New member - Old truck...
Welcome. Sounds like a fun project!! Wish someone near me was ditching their 25 gal aux tank.... I'd love to have mine back in. The original owner took it out when he had the exhaust redone...
Post some pictures when you get a chance. I upload them to photobucket.com and copy links to forum sites. Easy to do.
Good luck finding your way around!!

Thank you all for the welcome. I have a lot to learn about my old Ford. And the Fordification site.
