hello from South Carolina!

Post by mkalayjian »

Hi Ford truck people,

I was delighted to find Fordification (great name) and thank you to the guy in Nebraska who started it! (Keith, right?)

I am not a Ford truck owner yet but I have been kicking a lot of tires lately. I'm not sure why I want an old Ford pickup but I do. There is just something great about an old truck, and I'm partial to Fords. My brother had an 85 F150 that I used to drive a fair bit, so maybe I can get partial credit for that.

Anyway, thank you to all the people who make this site interesting and entertaining as well as helpful!

I do have a question -- is there a place to post questions along the lines of 'should I buy this old truck or not' ?? I did find one I am very interested in (69 F100) but I would love to get others' opinions.

Thanks for reading this and thanks for the great site!

Hey mkalayjian...

A big webfoot welcome to ya from the great Pacific Northwest...
Both my brothers live in SC, both are Ford truck owners.
TheeMc has a '72 Camper Special and is a forum member...
You can post any questions you have regarding buying a truck in the General section...
You can't go wrong with a '69...
IMO '68's and '69's are the best models...
Some will disagree with me 'cause everyone who has a bump thinks thier year is the best... :D

'68's ROCK

Welcome from the 'Left Coast' - you're going to find this site invaluable for information about making an informed purchase of one of these old bumpside beauties.

Hafta say, I'm partial to the '68 & '69 models (in particular the '69 Ranger... because of the distinctive trim).

Best of luck to ya!!

Welcome from Louisiana!

A 69 is the way to go...I am partial to them becasue I was born that year, and growing up, my Dad had a 68 that i learned to drive in.

I have owned three 69's and a 70.

They are awesome trucks...post your questions in the general discussion one.

I have a '69 F250CS. I like it a lot.
'67s (among other things :wink: ) cause kids.
