Hola from SLC, Utah

Post by 19FORD69 »

Well here goes my first post here. I recently purchased the 1969 Ford f100 short bed that my brother and I built in high school (he actually won the state drags in it back then) back after being passed around a few times. And for parts I purchased another 69 ford long bed that was in mint condition as far as rust, complete, etc. goes. The 69 has a built 390, 4.10 gears w /spool,minitubbed, I have been working on it about two months now and am just starting to put things back together and do body work.

I hope to use some of the great ideas I have found here and any input is appreciated.

Thanks!
