Hello from northern AZ

Howdy, all.
I've been browsing the site for a few years now, getting info for various work on the truck, and realized this morning that I'd really hate to see this site go away, especially as I have three separate tabs open to this site alone. So now I'm registered and wanted to say hello.

I picked up an '86 F150 XLT a few years ago for trails, dump runs, Home Depot runs, etc... Super Cab to include kids and dogs. Affectionately called Big Blue (sorry, Gary). It's a great truck despite the tired 302 and will probably outlive me.

I've stored the old 15s on a shelf to put on some black Methods and 31s and I'd like to black out all of the chrome and silver eventually. Now I'm sprucing up the interior a bit, mainly because I let the sun and weather do dirty work on the old plastic while trying to replace the flooring.

For the admins: I came across the thread discussing new forum software; I would absolutely donate toward that project financially.

Anyway, this is probably the most I'll post unless I'm stuck on a project and can't find the information already in the docs or the forum.

Thanks, everyone. I am really glad you guys are here.

Yes, I'm home after church and the luncheon that followed. And I ate too much.

Anyway, glad you joined.

And Jim is right about the map, we can put you on with a city or zip. I'm curious to see where you are as I've been on Lake Powell several times, so know something about Page and that area.

As for support, we may take you up on that. Heretofore I've paid all the fees, which don't amount to a lot. But if we go to another forum platform then there will be a cost and it will probably be time for me to ask for help for the whole thing.

We have something in common, I too have a "Big Blue", I've been calling mine "Big Blue 2WD" as Gary's is a 4x4. If I keep seeing more Big Blue's I'm gonna have to rename mine

Gary, I sent you a message (maybe several) about map locations but cannot tell if it went through. Can you confirm?
