New guy from St. Louis

Hello all! I just figured I'd stop in and introduce myself. I am just recently, as in a few hours ago, the proud (I hope) owner of a 1972 F100 shortbed that I plan on building into a low budget hot rod over the winter, and even though I've had lots of old cars and trucks, I've never modified much on the trucks. I'm sure this site will be a great asset in my build. In fact, I've already been making plans for the power steering and power brake install, and I don't even have my hands on the truck yet! Anyhow, here it is: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... :BCB:MT:11

Hopefully the floors and cab mounts are as good as they told me. I'll find out this weekend when I pick it up. I must say, this site has already been a great help for me. It's pretty danged awesome.

Looks like a pretty good start for a rod truck.
From the pics it looks like you get extra parts in the box too!!!
Extra parts are always good!!!

Welcome from Wisconsin!!!

Fomocoguy,

Nice truck! Love the rims. Interior is nice...I like that brown. Of course I like flat black too.

Welcome to the place! W're glad you're here and hope you hang around for a long, long time!

I just hope the extra parts fit the truck! I can already tell the door is for something else. Maybe I'll get lucky and there will be some power steering or power brake parts in it!

I like that original metallic brown color too; I'll probably have the truck sprayed in that color again.

Thanks to all for the welcome!

Thanks! I hope you're right; It looks as if I may have lost my help to go get the truck, so this saturday I may be riding my motorcycle 370 miles and loading it in the back so I can drive it home. U-haul won't rent me a tow dolly because they say the truck is too wide.

Welcome, Are you sure on the Uhaul thing they have a dolly for classic vehicles that is 77 inches wide. At least they did in Omaha.
