Hey everyone....

I Just picked up a 65 F100 and when I was driving it through the parking lot at a local grocery store here (Phoenix), I met Garbz sitting in his truck and he told me a whole lot I didn't know about my truck! He also said to join this forum. Thanks Garbz!

I can't seem to upload pics no matter how small I make them. Any suggestions? I've tried png and jpg file formats.

I can't help on computer things, I am about computer illiterate as they come. Someone else may chime in, or you can ask in the other section.

Kind of in the same boat as you are. I have a 62 F100 Unibody with a 223. Since it is no longer a "working" pickup, an occasional load to the dump is about all the loads it has, I use it as my prefered mode of transportation. I kept the 223, as I don't have a need for a lot of power, and it does good on gas. I installed a T5 from a 96 Mustang using the adapter setup that John Mummert sells. Gives me a lot better gearing than the 3 spd, and gives me decent mileage.
