North TX guy

Post by projlightning »

Name is Rudy and just got back into a truck after about 2yrs since selling/trading my 93 Lightning for a foureyed fox mustang. Pick up a 1967 F100 shortbed with a 240ci inline six, all original with little rust. Paint is shot but all else is in pretty good condition. I'm more of a dropped truck kind of guy and have already seen the crazy prices for the lovely i-beam suspension. Plans for the truck as of now are, replace broke exhaust manifold, rhino line bed and primer it. That's it....later on down the road I'll get some crazy ideas.... :evil:
