New guy with 70 F100 - Arkansas
First off, thanks to all the people who put together and maintain "vehicle specific" sites like this one... and thanks to all those who contribute.
My name is Chris. From Bentonville, AR (home of Wal-Mart headquarters). I just got my '70 F100 2 weeks ago. I sold my '48 Chevy coupe to get it. It's just about all re-done. Front suspension still needs attention... it's hard not to slide over into the passenger seat when making a corner 'cause the body roll is so bad!
This looks like a great site and has already taught me a lot about these trucks.
