Hi fellow Ford truck owners. I'm probably not quite right for your forum as my truck is a 1976 F-250, 460, C6, 2WD, but there are so many similarities that I thought that I'd join. What got my attention was a post by one of your members (fords4life) with a switch for sale that was for the '75-'79 models.

Yes, welcome aboard!
As for the truck, we aren't too up tight about that. We even have a moderator that doesn't have a Bullnose. Anyway, please post some pics. Where is home? We have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and I'd be happy to add you if I had a city. (No addresses.)

Welcome Ozzie!
Which forums that are for your vintage are you a member of? '76 460 would be internal balance with the dipstick in the timing cover?
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. |

The city is Harahan. The state is Louisiana. Harahan is in S.E. Louisiana. It is a western suburb of New Orleans.

While I have joined many forums through the years, the only Ford forums that I remain active on (almost daily visits) are Ford Truck Enthusiasts and 460Ford.
You are correct about the 1976 460: internal balance and the dipstick in the timing cover.

Ozzie - You are now on the map.
Do you know Kyle Avants/First Today? He is a good friend of mine and is down there somewhere. And speaking of there, Janey and I were almost there about 3 months ago. We came across a looooooong bridge that went thrump, thrump, thrump, thrump for the longest time and then hung a left into The Big Easy. Anyway, nice truck. Glad you are here.

Hi Gary,
No, I don't know Kyle.
That bridge sounds like the original 1/2 (north to south) of the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway (24 miles long). The newer 1/2 (south to north) has a nicer ride profile.
Thanks.
Ozzie

Cool script!
Yes, that was the bridge. Came in from the north, but went west to Houston when we left so didn’t get to experience the smoother road.

Welcome!
I lived in New Orleans for a while and occasionally went out to Harahan on jobs, mostly on the river and shipping facilities. Im in New Mexico now. I miss all the green in La but not the mosquitoes or questionable shop mechanics. Nice looking truck, thats such a classic body style. Theyre hard to find in your neck of the woods too, if I remember correctly.
