I was looking for some info about my 68 and stumbled across this site and decided to join. I purchased my 68 from Gas Monkey here in Dallas and thought I would share. I was told it was an original Texas truck that made its way to Mississippi and then brought back to Texas. If anyone happens to know the truck please let me know. I have a few friendly questions for the previous owner and would like some info about the truck. With that being said here is what I purchased. Here is the ad for the truck from Gas Monkey. http://www.gasmonkeygarage.com/the-inve ... ord-f-100/

And when I picked it up.

Cool! I saw that truck for sale and wished I could have bought it.

Are you in the Dallas area?

I forgot to mention I love the name "FORDification". It's the most appropriate forum name I ever heard of. Props to whoever came up with that.

Nice. I am from Flower Mound. I am a newbie too when it comes to these old trucks.

from central Texas!

First think I would like to point out is that truck appears to be a 67. It has the 67 grille, heater controls, rear view mirror, and doors. Check the VIN to be sure.

Yes, that checks out to a 67. Built in May of 1967, assembled in Dallas Texas, came with the 300 six.
