Soon to be a Bullnose owner

Rumblecloud
Hello everyone. Name is Randy. Glad to be here.
Preparing to purchase a 1981 F100 Flareside.
Found this site while searching for info to help me define the information on the door tag.

Looking forward to digging around and participating in the forum as much as I can.

Thanks,
r

Randy - Welcome!  Glad you joined.  

Do you have pics of the truck?  We'd like to see them.

And where's home?  We have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and can add you with a city/state or zip.

About the pics, yes i do although I am not the owner yet. I'll post some tomorrow when I have more time. The truck is not in tip top shape...yet, so these images will be the "BEFORE" shots.

You are now on the map.  And I see you are just barely in the US - if I got the right spot.

As for the pics, when you want to post you might want to start a thread in the main section about your truck.  You could have "before" pics and then pics for when you pick it up and as you peel the onion.

Oh yes, I should tell you about that.  I liken these trucks to onions.  Lots and lots of problems, one on top of another.  We peel and cry, peel and cry.  But pretty soon we have a Bloomin' Onion!

The "peel & cry" bit applies to me, for sure.  Got the truck together maybe a year ago and since then the brand new radiator sprang a leak, the idler pulley froze and shredded the belt, and in writing a new "tune" to the ECU there was a glitch that "bricked" the ECU.  And I'm sure I'm forgetting something.  Oh yes, the left turn signal brings the dash lights on.  

But two steps forward and one backward is still progress and, as Jim/Ardwrkntrk says, "Progress is good!"
