New Guy from Missouri
I have lurked for quite awhile, but just recently joined. I asked a question and received a prompt and polite response. I am sure I will have more questions later. My truck is '68 F100 Ranger. There is a lot of info, and a lot of ideas on here. Thanks!

Re: New Guy from Missouri
Thanks for the welcome, and the compliments. Unfortunately, beauty is only skin deep. I removed the cab to to floor pans and cab mounts, and found I would be better off with another cab. It is rotted to the point that the bottom of the a pillar, rockers, and floor pans are almost separated.
