New guy from Colorado

Post by 1970F250CS »

Good morning all,
My name's Lonnie and I hail from Evans, Colorado.
I'm 53 and I've been married to the same woman for 30 years.
I'm a fleet mechanic for a global medical courier company.

I picked up this 1970 F250 Camper Special about a month ago:

It has a 390 with a T18 behind it and 4.10 gearing. It's pretty much all original except for a few items (mirror, radio).
I'm going to keep the patina, but I will clean it up, get 16" steel wheels, paint the 16" wheels black, and run some original style dog dish hubcaps.
The rear bumper will be painted black or the original silver/grey color. The grill inserts will eventually get replaced.

Other vehicles I own:
2013 Nissan Altima 3.5S sedan (mine)
2009 Nissan Rogue SL (wifey's)
2003 Kawasaki Nomad 1500 (mine,my wife does ride with me)

Laters.
