Hello
Wanted to introduce myself to the forum. My name is Paul and I live in Castle Rock, Colorado. I am originally from England and have lived in the US since 2001. I recently bought a 1982 Ford F150 4x4 Short Bed with a 302 V8. The truck had not seen too much action since 2000 from the paperwork I received and was used to pull a horse trailer. The mileage is only 47K, however it does need a lot of work. So far I have replaced the fuel pump, starter motor, Rear drum brakes and all the fluids. I will be posting questions on the next phase of the work. Not the best picture but it shows the bullnose. Looking forward to sharing my progress and getting advice. Paul

Paul - Glad you finally joined the right forum!
 (For the rest of you, he tried to join the TEST forum w/o knowing that it is only for testing purposes.)
Castle Rock. I know exactly where that is having driving through there a number of times, and once about 6 weeks ago. Would you like to be on our map? (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu.) What part of England? I lived in Moor Park, north of Northwood, 30 years ago, and several on here either live there now or used to do. Nice truck. With those low miles perhaps it hasn't been hacked? And hopefully it isn't too rusty. All else is usually easy to fix.

You are now on the map. But I don't think I've been to Baildon. I've been up to Grimsby several times so have been in the region.
And, to show what I know of the UK, Baildon is near Leeds and, therefore, Leeds Castle.

Welcome Paul!
 We have a few British ex-pats here, and a few still in the UK. 302 Shortbed is a very odd combination for towing.
Jim,
Lil'Red is a '87 F250 HD, 4.10's, 1356 4x4, Zf-5, 3G, PMGR, Saginaw PS, desmogged with a Holley 80508 and Performer intake. Too much other stuff to mention. |
