Jon - Welcome!  

Your Ol' Blue sounds a lot like my Big Blue.  At least in its current state.  But it is down for a huge restomod during which the ZF5 will go in to replace the T19.  But your namesake, Jonathan/Ford F834, has first dibbs on that one.

Speaking of "Midwestern Missouri", where is home?  We have the member's map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and I'd be happy to put you on the map.

And, how 'bout coming to the Garagemahal Ford Truck Show & Swap Meet here in Skiatook, OK on Sept 21st?  Skiatook is just north of Tulsa and shouldn't be all that far for you.  And many of the folks on here hope to attend.

Thank you Gary!! Yes big blue and ol'blue do have alot in common!!

I gave up on a ZF5 to expensive to buy or repair on my budget.

Figure a cheaper to find a t19 with the 6:32 to one version.

I sense some horsetradin' may be going on at the GTG!

Jon - You are now on the map.  However, we don't put exact addresses in the map, or even in our posts, as this is open to the whole world to see.  So you may want to edit your post to take out the address.  Just click More>Edit Post.

And, please consider Jim/ArdWrknTrk's suggestion of creating a signature that tells us more about you and your truck.  We like to call each other by name as that tends to take the anonymity out of things where people think they can say anything.  And, having info there about your truck really helps us help you w/o asking lots of questions or scrolling back to re-read things.

Love a little horsetradin. Over the years have ended up with plenty to trade. Lol

Well got the signature done but when I try to load a profile picture it auto crops the picture and I can't adjust the cropping blocks? Oh well.

I just went through this with Gary.

The nabble support forum is aware of it, but they don't have a solution yet

If you can resize your avatar to 100x100 pixels on a real computer it will load.

Thanks for that picture info. I am currently working off a broken screen cell phone and a tethered tablet.

WELCOME TO MY WORLD, MY FRIEND!!!!!


See if you can text or email it to someone willing to resize it.

Have them send it back, and then use that .jpg.

Yes, if it is resized to 100 x 100 then you can load it and hit the crop button.
