new guy in Texas
bought back my first truck last week. In rough shape, wishing I had never sold it, of course. 1967 F100 shortbed, 352, 3 speed. Glad I discovered this site, tons of good info. Thanks!

Re: new guy in Texas
Welcome from north Texas. Congrats on getting your ride back. I made the same mistake back when i was in high school. It took me 3 years to get it back.
