New to the forum
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.

Another Louisiana welcome here! Glad you found your first truck. Most of us just wish we could find our 1st trucks again. Good luck on your rebuild.

re: New to the forum
Welcome from Idaho! Glad to see you got her back! I still have my first truck ('56 F100) that I got when I was 15. I've bought and sold several others between then and now but have managed to hold on to the first. My latest is my '69 F100. Good to have you here!
