New person from Central NC

Post by RSharpe »

Hello all, So glad I found this site. I am starting to put together a game plan for a 67-72 F100 shortbed project. I promise not to bend yalls ear to much.

I am hoping to find a 1969. I just like the grill. I would be happy with a simple 390 and do a mild upgrade of a 4 barrel setup, mild bumpy cam and headers running 3 inch purple honies. I would like to put a toploader 4 speed behind it. I plan to lower it a little (not a scraper). 16 or 17 inch wheels.

I am 62 :eek: so there won't be any street racing :roll: I am not out to build a trailer queen. I may show it off at local shows just to get out of the house. Any other old farts out there? anybody here near Raleigh, NC? :D

Welcome!

Charlotte here, so not close, but a lot closer than most.

There are a few folks in Raleigh/Durham... Today I am headed over to buy part off of one of them... ;)

If you put your location (region/state) in your profile information (<--Shows by your name) it makes it easier to find people close to you.

Best of luck to you!

Welcome aboard from Tehama County, Ca.
Do not want them tickets, but I sure do like the feel and sound when I get on the 68.
I am 68 years young.

Been surfing the site and found out I have had a lot of 69s.
An LTD, Torino Fastback, Fairlane (3), and a Falcon. Must be why I want a 69 F100 so bad. :lol:
