Hello From SoCal

Post by SCooper »

Hey There,

I have been a lurker for a couple months since buying my 1969 F250 Highboy, and figured it was time to post! It's a work in progress; has a rebuilt 390, Holley 650, Hooker Headers, Dual Turbo Exhaust and a slew of other items and is in line for some new flooring and a headliner. The forums here have been a great source of info and I keep hitting them before embarking on each phase of this beast's rebuild. The truck was made in Los Angeles and has been here its whole life. Rumor has it, the thing was a snow plow and in it's prime it was a truck on the oil fields somewhere. This is my first Classic Ford project and I'm loving every minute of it. As they say all it takes is TLC: Time, Labor and Cash :)
