Hello from Cumming, GA - 68 F250

Post by frogtown »

Fordification has already been a tremendous help so I though I'd officially say hello. Notice the pan on the driveway? Next project :)

Yep, this is by far the best source of info out there for our trucks. Lots of knowledgeable helpful members.

Welcome from the Macon area! Truck looks great!

Is that what Rangoon Red is supposed to look like? Serious question, my truck was Rangoon Red from the factory, but that body was gone before I came along. I think the rusted out shell dad swapped from this truck when I was little was Rangoon, but it was well worn and faded by the time I was little. If that's Rangoon, I like it and might just have to go back to it when time to paint.

Hi Josh. Mine in Rangoon Red from the factory also. The previous owner tried to match the original Rangoon Red, but the clear coat has yellowed some making it a little more orange than it should.

Still looks good! I'm even surprised how good those late model wheels and covers look on there. Without seeing it I would have assumed that they were too modern looking for a truck that age.
