Hello from CA

Post by powerstroke_puller »

Hey guys.
I was introduced to this great website by my wife's friend from high school, you guys know him as "1972 hi boy".
I have always been a ford truck guy, mostly sticking to ford diesel pickups. but a little while ago Rich gave me a ride in his 1972 hi boy and ever since i have been wanting one. while my attempts to lure one of his many trucks have been unsecessful... i am still looking for a hi boy of my own. and when i find it i will post some pics!
meanwhile, here is a pic of my current ford truck :)

:wel: from Lake County! If you don't mind me asking, what town/city are you from? The picture of your truck could have been taken in The Valley, but then it could be from SoCal too. Anyway, welcome to Fordification.com!
