Spirit of 68

Post by Spirit of 68 »

Hello from the Pacific Northwest! Picked up my 68 f100 2wd for $500. Long story short, the motor ran rough 6 miles home. Drained the oil and found plenty of bearing material. So out that motor came, 4 years ago...lol. Found a healthy FE a few weeks back and my spark was reignited. The truck needs a bit of body work but the rust threw is minimal. I'm excited to get back to it, and this site has so much knowledge. Time to get my butt in gear!
