First post!

Hello,
I have pulled a lot of info from searching this forum and figured I had better do an intro.
I have 04.5 5.9 CCLB 140K on the clock. I use her for towing, date nights and enjoyment to drive. My DD is a 1995 chevy K2500 and my "girlfriend" is a 1951 ford F1.
Recently I started to tune my own truck and am really enjoying learning the in and outs. My platform is the MM3 with UDC pro.
Thanks for letting me join.
Matt

Welcome! Post some pics of and more details on the F1!

I have had the F1 for about 26 years (high school truck) She has been neglected due to having kids and other priorities but I tore her down this last spring to freshen her up and almost have her back together. I need to paint the grill and tailgate and she is good to go.
I have a SBC 327 in her and recently upgraded the steering to a toyota gear box that has made it a treat to steer.
I see in your sig you have an 53 that you are turning into a "Fummins" That is a long goal of mine for this truck. (money and time lol) What is your progress on your F100?

Progress is limited on the 53. I would say something about putting a chevy engine in a Ford, but I haven’t made much progress on mine so it’s hard to criticize others :hehe:

I am in the middle of a house build/shop build/wife/2 kids/full time job/side business/trying to relax and smell the roses so progress has been limited. My 53 is tucked away in one of my barns right now. I have the engine and trans sitting in my shop ready to go. I’m hoping by next winter I will have the heat in my shop going and I can put her under the knife. I really enjoy classic Ford’s, especially the 53-56 range, but I appreciate all of them. Post some pics!

Oh man, the flack I have received for putting the chevy engine in that little truck has been brutal, especially in the F1 forums! lol.
I always have big plans on changing things but at the end of the day more important things take precedence over my hobbies.
I absolute love the simplicity of working on the older trucks. I can disassemble and assemble the whole thing in an afternoon. It just bring a smile to make face to work on.
I hope things settle down on your end and you can get after that F100, I would love to follow the progress.
Pictures will come this spring after I get her back up and street worthy.
Merry Christmas good sir.

Great! Looking forward to the pictures. I’ll post some progress once I get moving on mine.
