Hello from Munich

Post by F250Chris »

Hi there!
I´m already reading this forum for some time and have also posted a few times here. So I thought, it´s time to say hello to all of you and write a few words.
I live in south Germany close to Munich (maybe some of you have heard about our "Oktoberfest"), I´m 28 years old and since about one year I own a ´69 F250 CS with a 360.
I´m online here very often just to read all the interesting posts, because there are so many things I can learn about these great trucks. I hope that I´ll be able to write some helpful threads as soon as I get more experience with my truck.

And here is a pic of my little toy:

Welcome from New York. Are there many old Ford trucks in Germany? Is it hard to find parts?
Don't worry about the spelling. There are a lot of us who have been speaking and writing english our whole lives and don't spell very well.

Hi!
My truck truck comes from California. The last 38 years it was driven by someone from Glendale, CA.

Thanks to all of you! I didn´t expect so many answers.
The truck is really in a good condition for its age I´m very happy that I found one like this here in Germany. Only the paint on the roof and hood are not as good as they look on the photo and I have to do some little repairs as the horn is not working, the window washer unit is missing completely, radiator hoses are leaking a little and some more little things.

Hey form Virginia. Nice ride. Cool to find out that people outside the US still have bumps. Hopefully we can answer all your questions on here. There is an abundance of knowledge behind most of these usernames. Good luck and welcome aboard.
