Hello from Cali
Hello from SoCal. I've been lurking in the shadows long enough and decided to sign up for an account. I've been browsing the forum trying to get some ideas for the 1969 F250 that I purchased two weeks ago. Right now I am fixing all the leaks and safety issues, hopefully by the middle of the year I will be rebuilding the spare 390 motor that was sold with it and fixing the body(the bed had holes drilled into it for a fifth wheel).

Re: Hello from Cali
Thanks everyone. I'll post pics of it soon.
I live in a little town that is the pitstop between LA and Vegas known as Barstow.Calfdemon wrote: from SoCal. Where in Cali are you? Plenty of California members on board and if you are close to some, its a great way to network and get help!

Re: Hello from Cali
from Lake County, just a few miles up the road from where you are. I'm a couple of hours north of San Francisco and then right for about thirty miles on Highway 20. BTW, up here we say Highway 101, or 101, not "the" 101. I can always tell someone is from socal, they say "the" and then the highway number. I try to retrain them, but it is hard.

Re: Hello from Cali
Ah, Barstow... I know it well. Land of dust, dirt, fast food, and outlet malls! . A regular stop on the way to and from Vegas. Thats about my halfway point since I am over in Santa Clarita off of "the 5"

Yeah I'm guilty of calling it the 101.Kurt Combs wrote: from Lake County, just a few miles up the road from where you are.

Yup, you described it perfectly. When I was living in San Diego, someone asked me where Barstow was. I told them what they needed to do to get to Barstow was buy a 2 liter of soda, drink it down, head out on the 15 toward Las Vegas, hold it in until you couldn't hold it in anymore and then you are in Barstow.Calfdemon wrote:Ah, Barstow...

Out of order, I show you out of order. You don't know what out of order is, Mr. Trask. I'd show you, but I'm too old, I'm too tired, I'm too [censored]' blind. If I were the man I was five years ago, I'd take a FLAMETHROWER to this place! Out of order? Who the hell do you think you're talkin' to?
