Newbe

Post by Buckin1 »

New to this site. Picked up a 72 F100 4X4 last July. Found it outside of Denver on eBay. Flew out to drive it back to the Chicago area. We met the seller at a remote parking lot of the airport where he had left it earlier on a trailer. We checked fluids and drove it to a parts store a few miles away to purchase fluids. Then it was off to a exhaust shop to have a donut replaced. Bought four new tires at Discount Tire, and then off to Four Wheel Parts to buy track arm bushings. Had to go to a Home Depoy to buy A wrench to change them. Made it home no problems. It has tone paint, and really appears to b a 60,000 mile original mile truck. Still has the original seat cover on it. Added power steering to it recently. Will try to post pictures when I figure out how. :? :?

Looking forward to seeing those photos. I hear the best route is to use a photo sharing sight like Photo Bucket or Google Photos and link them that way. That's how I posted my 1 photo, anyway (via Google Photos).

Good luck!
