Hello from the frozen north!
I have been reading the forum for a long time now but never posted before. I really like the site, friendly people and good advise.
Here's a bit about me. I've been a mechanic for over 30 years, but haven't worked on cars for a living since 1985. I joined Ford of Canada in 87, and spent about 5 years as their light truck tech specialist, and about 4 as a service training instructor. (I trained dealer techs). Currently I have a 68 F100 that needs to be restored but is not too bad for a Canadian truck. Last year I rebuilt a 428 for it, and it sounds real nice! Major stuff it needs are a cab mount on the right front, and the ends of the support that runs under the cab are rusted out. Other than that she's not too bad. No pics yet.
Thanks for having me!

re: Hello from the frozen north!
I'm looking forward to seeing pics of your truck. I'd like to see the 428 nestled in there!
