Hello again!

Post by fomocoguy »

Just wanted to drop in and say hello. I joined the forum in 2007 when I bought my first bump (a 72 F100) and spent a lot of time here. I bought a crew cab 4x4 from Doug Comer, who was also a member, and when I sold it i fell off the face of the earth and haven't been active.

HOWEVER, I am now the proud owner of a 1971 F100 flareside long bed that I call "Sweet Pea" due to all the sweet patina she has. It will be a labor of love and I'll be sharing progress and searching for parts here for sure. Glad to be back after all these years! See you around!

If I remember correctly, was yours the flat black F350?
Also how are folks posting pictures these days? I used to have a photobucket account that I would link to but it's long gone and when I try to post from my phone it says the pics are too big. Not the most savvy with such things....

Joe,

Mine was the tank color F-350 DRW with Alcoa rims and the custom all aluminum flat bed I designed and had built.

Pics haven't cvhanged they are still a PAIN IN THE BUTT TO DOWNSIZE SO THEY WILL UPLOAD, (I refuse to deal with photobomb anymore after they "held my pics hostage" wanting money for them). You still have to use a hosting like photobomb or another one as far as I know?

Same here; I lost all my photobucket photos when they went pay to play. Not real happy about it!
