Well I guess Im new

RustedJunk84
I drive a 86 F150 302efi 2wd. My grandpa bought it in 1989 when he passed away in 1995 my dad drove it. On valentines day my dad blew the motor up. My father and I put a new jasper motor in it togethef and it was my first ride. we painted the motor up and had a small fire burning the paint off. Great to work on it together. We got it running and I have been it daily ever since. This old bullnose has never seen a shop unless it was something I couldnt fix my self.
   Moving forward I would like to restore this old 86 Lariet XLT make it 4x4 and pass it down to my nephew. It would be great to have four generations in this old truck.
  Well thats the story and that is me. I have a love hate relationship with it, guess it is because of it being the only thing that even though it lets me down I fight for it each and every day.

Welcome aboard. I for one can tell you that you're not the only one that owns and drives a rusty Bullnose;). You're in good company here.

I was wondering why your name was RustedJunk84 when your truck is an '86, but I guess that likely means that you were born in 1984;).

Welcome!  Good story.  I'm really fond of keep-it-in-the-family stories.  

Where are you located?  We have a member's map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and I can add you if you'd like.  But just your city or approximate location.
