New Guy From Texas
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
I dig this sight! And all the info is oh soooo helpfull! More pics soon as I get this truck back into shape!
