intro

Don't have a 80-86 ford , mines a '94 ex . Joining because of some interest in the discussions of ford speed control here.
Perception of perfect pickup has for a long while been the '80s f-150s from south of the (US) border.
example:
blue and white f-150 1985 , mexico version

blue and white f-150 1985 , mexico version

...or the Dunkel when I'm feelin ridiculous.

answering the intro email question, joining process was a bit iffy, but my experience isn't reliable test, because I had to reload couple times to reenable google for recaptcha.

Welcome! Glad you joined, in spite of not having a Bullnose. (One of our moderators doesn't have one.)

Where's home? I ask because we have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map on the menu) and we'd be happy to put you on with a city/state or zip.

Nice looking truck. And you are spot-on about a perfect pickup.

Yeah, the joining process isn't "tuned" quite yet.

Re: intro

rarely see any trucks pre 90 even here in so cal (zip entry for your map can be 91010). My '94 is very often the oldest car on the road locally, except for the el camino and full sized bronco driven by the mechanics at the busiest auto shop around.

Yes, these trucks are frequently some of the oldest on the road. But some of us have them running quite well and there's little reason not to drive them.

And btw, you are on the map.

Nifty integration of the maps into the forum.

I don't know of another forum that has such a map, and it works in a couple of ways. First, you can see who is near you, and in some cases we've had members get together to help each other.

Another is that you can search for a member's name and then click on the pin and it'll give you a link via which you can email them.

But you are right that we have no members from Russia.

Are email alerts for thread updates a feature of this forum? I see no option for that in the account settings.

Yes. It is called email subscription. And you can subscribe to a thread, a folder, or the whole forum. And you can get notifications for each post or a daily summary.

If you want to subscribe to a specific thread, at the top of the thread to the right is an Options link. And in it is "Subscribe via Email".

Or, if you want to subscribe to the folder that several threads are in you click on the Options link, but it is on the left this time.

Last, you could subscribe to the whole forum by going to the main page and clicking Options/Subscribe via Email.

So, here's an example. Let's say you want to subscribe to the eBay, Craigslist, Facebook, & Kijiji Finds folder so you see the things people find. Go to the main page/Marketplace/eBay, Craigslist, Facebook, & Kijiji Finds and then subscribe. Or subscribe at the Marketplace level, which also gets 4 other folders, like Want To Buy.
