New from Chattanooga,TN
Hi my name is Billy. I own a 1971 F100 Custom with a 302 C4 SWB black with red interior. This truck has been in the family since 1983. My step father bought it from the original owners widow in LaGrange,Ga. I bought it from him in 1993. I hope to restore it this summer as I've just finished up a new house so funds are depleated. I looking at a 1994 Lincoln MK VIII for a possible donor and then maybe a CV front end. I find this forum helpful as I've been a lurker for a while.

Re: New from Chattanooga,TN
Thanks for the warm welcome. I'll try to post pics of my truck soon. Its my baby. My wife can't understand why I like that old black truck. I've tried to explain it but she just does not get it. I drive a 2003 F250 and I like my old 71 better.
