Hello all! I thought It was time I introduced myself. I am a owner of a
1971 F250 4x4, used as a daily driver. Not a show truck by any means,
to me it's more important how it runs than how it looks. A guy I work with
had it sitting in the weeds behind his house for a few years until I talked
him into selling it to me. It had a 360 in it that had no power and smoked a little. (thats how it got the nick name Blue Cloud) This spring my uncle (another old Ford nut) and I switched the 360 for a 390 he had around, and man what a difference that made! I'll post some pics when I get around to getting a digital camera.

re: The Welcome Mat
Welcome aboard! 
I plan on rebuilding a 390 and swapping out the 360 in my truck as well.

re: The Welcome Mat
Welcome to the site and forums...glad to have you aboard. By the way, you did know that you can drop off a roll of film and have them put to CD, right? Then you can easily attach the pics to a post here.
