Hello All,
Lee Gathers here from western Pennsylvania. In August this year I bought a fairly solid 1968 F100 2wd. It has a built up 390V8 with a c6 trans. Stock nine inch rear end with 3.25 ratio. Plans for now are to get as much bodywork done as possible before the weather gets too cold. I repaired the right front cab mount and have replaced both rear cab corners so far. I am also planning on upgrading to 3/4 ton suspension/brakes. Future use involves towing a 5000lb camper we have and a horse trailer(whenever that gets bought).
Looks like a great website for research material and questions I have. Been alot of years since I messed with Ford trucks. I was a Ford truck mechanic briefly in 1991-92.
I'll go to appropriate forums with questions.......Lee
