New Guy in the Portland Oregon Area

Post by East County Ford Guy »

Thanks for adding me to the group.

Currently have a '68 F-100 long bed Ranger and a '71 F-250 Custom, both 2wd rigs and FE powered. I am putting the Ranger together and will most likely be parting the '71, since it had a tree fall on the cab roof. Pictures to follow, once I figure out how to add them. Let's say that I am technically challenged and leave it at that.

Thanks again for the ad.

No shame in being technically challenged......that's why we have these old Fords....... :thup:

And that's the only advice I ask my kids for since that's the only thing they know how to do better than me......... :D

Sorry to hear about your '71! Hopefully its parts go to good homes.

Thanks all for the warm welcome.

While I do have to ask my kids, and grandkids, for "technical assistance" I have been known to remind my kids that I taught them how to use a spoon.

For now the '71 is going to help put the Ranger back on the road. Should have most of the big pieces off the '71 left, possibly enough to warrant a re-cab. Time will tell.

Good luck with figuring out the pictures. I copy paste from imageshack .com then hit the IMG button on here by the smiley faces. Then paste the image In between the quotes. When you do it once it's easy.
