hey from Maine, '70 Highboy '66 F100

Post by v8drinker »

Hi all,

Automotive forum lurker here, infrequent poster. My current project is a 1966 F100 long bed 2wd with the Dana 60.2 limited slip rear, and someone's swapped in a 460/c6. I'm redoing the brakes entirely and hope to have it on the road this summer. So I missed the 1967 cutoff, but this seems like one of the better Ford truck forums. Around 10 years ago I also had a 1970 F250 "sport custom" 4x4, which I loved, but it's gone. And more recently a 1973 Firebird.

I also enjoy strong coffee, bourbon, chainsaws, and cast iron skillets.

Cheers,
Tom

Thanks DuckRyder!
The google photos link is what it is and it doesn't have a file extension, so I added these to my gallery here.
The Highboy is long gone, working on the '66 now. I poked around the various ford truck forums some and this seems like one of the best, I think we'll have plenty in common despite my truck being a year too old, certainly moreso than with the unibody crowd.
