HEY GUYS... NEW MEMBER HERE!

This post was updated on .
Hey everybody! ... My name is Mike.  I have a 1980 F-350 Dually that has been my daily driver for the past 4 years.  I've done a bunch of work to it and continue to keep upgrading it as I go.  It has a fresh 460 swapped in it, C6 auto, PS, PB, manual windows, and air conditioning.  I've changed every bulb front-to-back to LED, adapted some 19.5" wheels off of a newer F-450, and the list goes on.  I had a Marti Report done on the truck and it happens to be a one-of-one made in 1980.  It came down to the AM/FM/8-Track Radio that's still in the truck and still works!  Anyways, it was cool to come across this forum and figured I would join!  Thanks!

Welcome!  Glad you joined.  

Cool truck!  Man, that thing looks stout!  

Where's home?  I ask because we have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and we can add you with a city/state or zip.

Hard to put you on the whole map of SC.  Can you be slightly more specific?  Like a city?

super cool truck. i have a real soft spot for the standard dually. the h-d lettering detracts imo. but i love the truck. you are a bit south of me as i'm north of charlotte.

Yea, I was going for a 'What if they released a Harley Davidson Edition F-350 from the factory in 1980' look.  Or 'What if a Harley Davidson dealership had this as their service truck' kind of look.  It looks pretty good when my Harley is in the bed at a car show, kind of completes the vibe.
