Howdy from Twin Lakes CO

bkrahmer
Hey all, i'm a new member, currently living in Twin Lakes CO.  In a couple months, I will have my shop done, and will be building my first project vehicle.  It's an '81 F-150 4x4 (green and brown with topper) w/ 300 and 4 speed.  It's a mess and i inherited it from my dead-beat dad and drug out here from MN last summer.  I bought this sponsor truck (blue '85 F-150 2wd 302 auto) in AZ a couple weeks ago for parts.  I have big plans for the '81.  Chopped to be a short-bed.  Mild-turbo 300 w/ 6-speed and converted to 2wd.  Dropped 3", rear disc brakes, Eaton posi, Holley EFI.  Dark metallic gray w/ 20" wheels, all blacked-out trim and bumpers, tinted windows, led lights, etc.  I'm hoping to get a majority of the work done this winter, because we plan to move up to Idaho next summer, and I don't want to pack and move parts!  After that, I plan to do an easier resto and conversion to rock crawler of an '89 Bronco, from same dad, converted to look like a bullnose.  I've seen some great content on this site through google already.  Looking forward to hanging out here and learning a lot.  Thanks!
