Found!!! Dad's 68' from Mississippi

Post by lbm33 »

Hello everyone! This is a great site, I am blown away by all the tech articles and tutorials that are on here and just want to say thank you to everyone for their contributions! Last year, I was able to track down my Dad's 68' s.w.b. 360 powered F100 after searching for 7 years, and gave it back to him for his 65th birthday. He is now the official 1st and 9th owner haha! Needless to say, it went through many transformations over the years since he sold it in 1990 - but it will be back on the road as the restoration has started! I know this site will be utilized a lot in the future and wanted to say thanks for having me on board! -Lawson
