Greetings from cold @ss Michigan

Post by Lucky13 »

Hello from the suburbs outside of Detroit Michigan!
I've lurked for a while and am amazed at the content and resources here.
Keith you've done an incredible job on this site, and are an invaluable resource to people working on 67 to 72 Ford trucks.

I bought my f100 as a parts chaser and to haul things home from the home improvement store or landscaping supply. After continuously paying for delivery on everything I decided a truck would pay for itself within a year or two's worth of projects. (This is how I sold it to the mrs.. :wink: )

I can see I obviously overpaid by looking at what people on this site buy and sell parts and trucks for, but I'm happy. This truck is only supposed to be around until my home projects are complete, but I love it's classic lines and general personality and plan on replacing parts as I drive. Hopefully I can extend it's term beyond that timeframe.

I don't have an allegiance to one particular brand. I have in the past and currently do own a wide variety from different manufacturers. Life's too short to only try one flavor.

It has a newer 289 engine (instead of the original 352) and a 3 on the tree.
It was a california truck that's been starting to rust as it's been in Michigan for around 7 or 8 years now.
I have some better images and few short videos of the exhaust note I can post later. These are the only images I have at work.

John, you are correct. Thanks for not following through on your intention to buy. I really like this old truck and all of it's issues and quirks.

I wondered if anyone here was local and would recognize it. I think it was for sale for quite a while before I stumbled upon it - although i could be wrong, and usually when they sit for awhile it's due to problems (as was the case and I may elaborate on later) or seller price (again this was the case, I think he finally got tired of dealing with buyers and cracked.)

you can ford a river or stream and get to the other side, if you dodge it you will not, and if you drive a chevy to the levee it will run dry and the music will die.
