Hey all, Just got a new to me 70 F-100, 2wd. Southern truck 95% rust free, great shape IMO. Looking forward to getting it in REALLY nice shape over time and using it as a daily driver! I've always driven old Chevys and GMC's (67's and 68's) and had one 76 F-100 years ago but this is my first truck like this. This looks like a great site, hope to get to know some of you all. I'm in Southern Indiana if there's anyone else out there close by, that would be great.

Welcome from Michigan. Great to hear another bump turned a Chevy lover away from the dark side 
I like that Chevy body style too. Can't wait to see your pics and progress!

Re: Hello from the midwest!
Thanks everybody. Yeah after driving those old Chevys, I am surprised at how much more solid, smooth, quiet and all around nicer this 70 Ford is. Even more than the 76 Ford I had. None of them were as nice as this old pig is. I'm pretty stoked about it and love driving the 3 speed manual with over drive, that is also a trip!

Re: Hello from the midwest!
That's interesting to hear I would have figured these trucks ( Fords and Chevys) would have been right about on par. It would be interesting to see comparisons of the two.
