Hello There!
I am absolutely humbled to find a community of Ford enthusiasts with a focus on 67-72 F-series pickup trucks! I just purchased a 1968 F-100 that is in fairly decent shape with a strong rebuilt 352 that has under 40k miles on it. The previous owners were not so nice to her but I am beginning the shine up process immediately.
This is my first restoration project but not my first Ford. I graduated into adulthood driving an 83' F-150 and drove her for 8 years. I spent many hours, days, weeks, months making my truck all that it could be. Eventually, I had to let my first ride go because I started a family and needed the money to finish up school.
Any advice that more experienced members can offer a newbie out will be very appreciated! It's good to be here.

I can't begin to thank this community enough. I have found so much great information about my truck, where to pick up parts, and what to do and not to do. The search engine for the forum works like a champ! Big hats off and thank you!
