New Guy From Texas

Post by RWG »

My father was a Ford man and I guess in turn I have become a Ford man.

My name is Scott Thorson and I live in Katy Texas.

My first truck was a 79 F100,300 st.6 and 3 on the tree.

I drove that truck one summer from Houston to El paso to L.A. to San Francisco to Seattle and back to Houston.
Stuck it round a pole one night after loosing control on some ice in a curve.

I swore up and down that I would own another F100 but this one would have an 8.
Well last week I traded my fishing boat for this 72 F100 :doh:

Welcome from the DFW area. I was on a local fire dept around here and made a friend that moved up from Katy and has since moved back there. Not sure how big Katy is but if you know any of the guys on the Fire dept,you might know of him.
Enjoy the site we have a lot of fun here.
