old ford truck addiction

Post by rivr42t »

Hello everyone. I joined Fordification to learn as much as possible as I search for that 71/72 f100 Ranger XLT short bed. I am just stuck on that
truck.. like an addiction.. seriously.. you have no idea. All the time on Ebay, craigslist, classic auto trader... I have a problem.
I almost got the one I wanted a month ago but someone bought it before I got there. I hope to benefit from everyone elses greater
knowledge and learn some great restoration tips.

:wel: from northern California! Now about that addition:

There are only two solutions: a twelve step program, or find that truck of you dreams and make it yours! I recommend solution number two. :D :D :D

:wel: from Georgia! The right one is out there for you. You don't have to settle. Be patient and the perfect one will come along. At least that's what my mama used to say. But then again, she was talking about a wife for me. Btw, I'm on my 3rd one of those :lol:

:wel: from North Alabama. It's an addiction all right, I'm there with you. Take your time for the perfect one, I almost jumped on a few but held out and found exactly what I was looking for.
