Welcome! Glad you joined.

But would you be ok if I moved your post to have its own thread?

Nice truck. But a Styleside is the smooth-sided Ford pickup. Yours is a Flareside, hence the FOG reference.

So, what part of Texas is home? I ask because we have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and we can add you with a city or zip.

Nice truck. Mine 85 LWB 302 EFI 150 is the same color. Yours is in great shape - looks sharp!

I don’t understand your post. Are you a fan of this site or not?

I'm an Admin on this site...

My post is explaining to L.R.D. why Gary made a break from Ford Truck Enthusiasts and started his own Bullnose forum.
Gary's reply below mine seems to confirm that.

I'm not sure what you don't understand.

Yep, Jim's not only one of the admin's on here but one of the main contributors, as you can see from his post count. So he wasn't criticizing us, that's for sure.

Thank you Gary!

I was wondering if 85brownnose was asking if I was a fan of FTE, or this here Garagemahal/Bullnose site???

I have nothing against FTE. I'm just not into the way it's monetized and administered after it was sold to IB.
Still lots of good people there but it casts a wider net than what I'm interested in.

Great find!

Re: Hello new users!

Yeah a work in progress. Might be too much for an old guy like me. Thing had been sitting up for years in a barn. Last tagged and Texas Inspected in 2013. Needs a new carb or rebuilt as it won't idle. Maybe Vacuum. Oh well the project begins.

Looks like a worthy project.

Re: Hello new users!

Hello! I am new....and am shopping for a bullnose to use for work, play, hobby, and because they seem potentially light as far as pick-ups go, maybe a little 1/4 mile action. I have a roller 351 that may get some cleveland heads, and I am either going to use a bullnose truck or a fox body, non mustang car. I am leaning towards a truck because they are far more useful as a second vehicle than another car. Bullnose vs earlier trucks.....I hope to find one with a 9" rear, and disc brakes are standard, so a c-4, c-6, or AOD....and parts are easier to come by in self service yards than earlier stuff. Plus, I think I can find one that doesnt need alot of rust repair. 80-86 seems to still have simple engine management too. Plus, I like the looks!!! So here I am, spying on you all.
