Hello Everyone,

I bought my 1985 F150 Explorer SuperCab 302 efi bullnose several years ago so that I could get some experience restoring a vehicle.  I'm a network engineer and I work from home so I needed something to do to get my mind off the technical work and get my hands dirty every so often.  It's been an adventure.  I've replaced just about everything on the truck including installing a 4" lift.  There are only a few fine adjustments to be made and then body and paint.

Welcome!  

Nice truck, and a good project.  Boy do I understand the need to get your hands dirty.  Spent my career in IT, inc networking for Conoco and DuPont, so I can commiserate.

Where in The Hill Country is home?  We have a member's map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and I'd be happy to add you if I had a town.

You are on the map.

That's a pretty area.  Used to live in Katy and have been to the Schlitterbahn many times.

I quite like that cab combo with the short bed. It looks good and will look even better with a fresh coat of paint on it;).
