Hey y’all,
I’m Jerry from Brush Creek Tennessee. I have recently acquired a 1986 f150 4x4 4.9 XL. Unfortunately it had been sitting for about 15 years. All intake valves were stuck and pushrods bent. Have since repaired that along with a new gas tank and it runs fairly well. I am now working on the brakes to make it road worthy again. A lot of my research links me here so I’d like to join this site. There appears to be a wealth of information here. Thanks so far for your help.

Welcome, Jerry!  Glad you joined.  

Would you like to be on our map?  You can see it at Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu.

Bringing trucks back after a 15 year rest is difficult, but it sounds like you are well on your way.  

Hope you'll start a thread in either the main section or Projects to let us follow your journey.

Boom, you are on the map.  I put you in the parking lot of the Church of Christ.  I'm sure they won't mind.

I'm having Garys Garagemahal Ford Truck Show in the Skiatook, OK CoC parking lot on Sept 2nd.  If you can't join maybe you can host one in your CoC parking lot?
