Greetings from Texas...

Post by facepalm »

Thanks again for the add to the group. I posted in the Southwest Region section yesterday. Nothing special about me, just a father of 3 trying to keep looking down on the flowers. Grew up around my Uncle and his 65, and in 1994 I bought a 62 Uni, I kept it until ~1998 when my son was going to be; priorities? I looked for that truck for that truck for years, Lord knows where she ended up, usually this far South they head to Mexico. I've had numerous cars since then and 2 years ago I decided to find another F100. Here I am now with a 66 that I am spending too much money on... ask my wife! Here's a pic of my old 62 next to my ex-father-in-law's 63; I know, the Exploder in the back ruins the picture!

And here's one of my new hobby:

It's changed a bunch already. I think you should be able to click one of my pics and get to the photobucket, pretty sure it's public now (if I did it right)! Don't want to muddy up the forum with all my junk.

Welcome from N.W. Ohio. When I saw your truck I thought I was looking at mine a few years ago, other than the rear bumper it looks like mine did. Looks nice and solid for a good starting platform.

Took a quick peak at your pics, you have been busy. I do not think you should worry about cluttering up this site. Most people love the pics and stories about slicks. I did like your solution for the tailgate latches along with the other mods.
