New guy saying hi

Post by mrm24_86 »

Hello all. Just dropping in to say hello, I'm 21 years old, live in Billings, MT, and I have a 1970 Ford F100. My ford was my daily driver in high school, it had an untold amount of electrical issues stranding me on the side of the road countless times, and then about a year and a half after I bought it, it blew a ring and that is when I parked it, and it has been sitting for a little over two years now. I should clarify that it is sorta a 1970, how it sits now is how I bought it, and it is about 6 different trucks in one. It was running a 302 with a 4 speed when I parked it. I've been thinking about getting to work on it again now that I have a better job and so forth. After I parked it I bought a 79 olds cutlass and rebuilt it. Built a Olds 350 and TH400 for it, painted all kinds of fun stuff. As you can see in the pictures the last thing the ford hauled for me was the engine and transmission for the cutlass. Well, that is about all for now, just wanted to say hello and I look forward to getting help and maybe helping a few people.
