New from Utah

Hey fellas, glad to be here and starting a new adventure. I just recently came over from the muscle car world although I've been driving Ford trucks for 25 years. This is actually my 2nd bump but 1st truck restoration. I recently had a 68 Mercury Cougar that was too far gone (wrecks, rust & sea salt) and sadly had to put her down. I kept the mildly built 351w I built for it cause I knew whether I got another cougar or moved on to dream car #3 (F100) I loved this engine. As it happened I found the F100 (1967) I'd been waiting for so I loaded up my wife and daughter and drove the 11 hours to pick it up. Yes it does need some love but it's already got some nice things done to it and body seems to be solid. It's been lowered with dream beams and has had disc brakes and power steering put in. Also, it's a late build and it looks like there might be a couple things found on 68's on this truck. I feel like this is a good starting point for me and look forward to learning from you guys. Thanks for having me.

Welcome Cumminskiller!

An 11 hour road trip to pick up your dream truck? That's a wonderful reason to make a drive!

Can't wait to follow you on your adventure, and yes -

Nice truck! good start for a resto. That 351w would be awesome in there, that's what I'm putting in mine.

It should be fun. I'm really pumped up about the project. Good luck to you!
