Hi,
I traded a 1988 Ford econoline van that was just wasting away in my driveway for this 1969 F-100. It has an inline 6 cyl but tag says it originally had a 360 in it. I'm 56 and have never been too mechanically inclined or even owned a pickup, so this should be an interesting adventure. Luckily the truck is running but the interior will need major work. Can't say I'm a fan of the fake black things on the hood!!! I'm looking forward to at least get the truck looking decent and I can already see there's a vast amount of experience here. I'm waiting for my Chilton and Clymer books to get here.
Thanks,
Joe

Lose the scoops and you'll have a pretty sharp looking bump.The iron never lies and 200 pounds is always 200 pounds

Re: New from West Point Georgia
from up the road here in choo-choo town. There's quite a few of us old guys on here. 
Another vote to unbolt the fake hood scoops, (I'd never be able to reach the inside of them to clean them).

May your sails stay full, and your knots not slip. Unless a slip knot.
