Howdy from Montana!
Been lurking for a while, thought I better stop and introduce myself. My name is Todd, I have been a mechanic all my life, now a General Manager of a Ford Dealership in western Montana. As well as Fords, I love working on/restoring old aircooled Volkswagens and all types of motorcycles. Recently aquired a 68 F100 short stepside, 240 six and 4 speed, in trade for some labor on a friends Goldwing. He was told it had a bad engine, one dead hole, and I aquired with that understanding, turned out to be bad distributor! Runs great now, steers horrible, somewhat stops. Should be lots of fun building her up, look forword to being involved here!

Re: Howdy from Montana!
Welcome from Spokane. If you ever make it over this way, do so after checking out the inventory at pullandsave.com. They usually have a raft of Bumps at either the Valley site (right next to I-90) or the north side site (another 20 minutes north).bugdaddy66 wrote:Been lurking for a while, thought I better stop and introduce myself.
