New guy Santa Maria CA
Greetings and thanks for the add! This is Walter, my new to me 68 F-250. Has the Ranger package, so it’s the first vehicle I own with power steering and auto. Love the 360 power plant. Now off to adjust the Holley 2bbl the PO stuck on it.

Re: New guy Santa Maria CA
Thank you. It’s was built in San Jose and, before the PO, I really don’t know. Over the next couple months my plan is to find out. I know I can go through the DMV and find out. And yes, 0 major rust. None. Even the tool box is solid.jzjames wrote:Looks pretty good and no major rust/rot. Maaco paint job and…wow!

Get the 2nd tank going and concentrate on the interior. I want to find some steelies instead of the rims on it now. I saw that econoline rims are the same so I’m going to hit up some local junkyards to see if they have them.Idaho Chris wrote:Welcome.

Re: New guy Santa Maria CA
I would think the body work would be fun. Weld up all the trim holes? And a paint job in the future?

Econoline rims are indeed the same. That is what I run on my F250.Vwbuggin69 wrote:Get the 2nd tank going and concentrate on the interior. I want to find some steelies instead of the rims on it now.
