New guy from East TN.

Post by drummerdad »

New guy from Johnson City Tn. Not new to trucks or classics, but new to the classic Ford scene.

I bought a 1967 Ford F100 from a church friend a few years ago, and I recently went over to get it. The first goal was to get it running, which we did. It took a little, because it has been sitting for 15 years. With some work, we got it to run. The carb will need to be rebuilt, but it runs.

We are going to tow it to the house, and work on it. Itll need tires, brakes, hoses, plug wires, belts, and a good bath to start with. Its a 3 speed/300 short bed, and Im going to try and make a daily driver out of it. Ill attempt to post pictures. Ill have to resize them again. Not sure when Ill be able to do that, so here is a link to the folder.

Well, this is interesting...

I live in Johnson City, have a 67, and also am a drummer...….. has my identity stolen? :lol: :lol:

Maybe we can get together and talk trucks and drums! I have a buddy up in Gate City, VA that has several of these bumpsides and will have every part you may need. I can share his contact info with you if you need it. Good luck with your new truck!
