Post by 390F100 »

Hey everyone,

I'm obviously new here but not really to the old truck scene and just recently picked up a 68 f100 with no motor or wheels on it and am bringing her back to life. She was my first truck when I was 16 and I have missed her everyday since I sold her. Anyways I am a correctional officer in florence arizona for a private prison company called Corrections corporation of america. I am glad to be a member of this forum and look forward to meeting all of you. I am still a young guy being 24 but do or did have lots of experiences with my old 68. So if you have any questions that maybe I could answer please feel free but from looking around this site there won't be any need too. Take it easy-390

390F100,

Welcome from Louisiana! Cool story...so you had this truck as a 16 year old, then sold it and now have bought it back? Good deal.

We are glad you're here....lots of great folks here and tons of information here. Pull up a chair and sit awhile.
