Hello

Post by Beat98TJ »

Well, I recently picked up a 67 F100 PreRunner. It was a fine running vehicle, and now I have stripped it down for upgrades. In the last 2 months I have spent 3 times the purchase price on upgrades.

I know nothing about Fords, so I am all about the learning.

Here is a link to my purchase and buildup.

beat98tj,

Welcome! :fr:

That's a cool truck for sure. I especially like the seats, bet their comfy.

One massive driveshaft under the truck too.

Nope. No idea. Just having fun with it. It is the first time in a while I have jumped into a project where I don't know the secrets of the vehicle.

Love the 429 though! :wink:

The blessing/curse of the 67's has been discussed in the forums many times.Quite often when a member buys a 67 they not only get a new ride they also get a visit from the stork. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
