Beef_McQueen Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago Hey all - I bought a 1984 F250 with the intention to learn how to work on trucks. She sat on a farm in CO for many years, and then in a driveway for a time. She runs but needs a tune-up, which I am learning about and my next to-do. I’ve already replaced flexible fuel lines that eroded. I have no prior experience working on trucks and cars other than changing oil, filters, etc. Appreciative of the community built here and looking forward to learning and gaining skill.

Gary Lewis Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago Welcome! Glad you joined. Happy to help you. You’ll find a whole lot of experience here. Where's home? I ask because we have a map, which you can see in the menu at Bullnose Forum/Member's Map, and we can add you with a city/state or zip/postal code. Who knows, one of us might be a neighbor and could help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beef_McQueen Posted 27 minutes ago Author Share Posted 27 minutes ago (edited) Hey Gary thanks so much. I’m on Whidbey Island, WA. Zip code 98277. would be fantastic to know if there are others nearby. Most YouTube videos I can find are some guy dropping his phone into the engine while he’s trying to explain something, so finding anyone near me would be wonderful.

Didn’t know what either of those things were called, thanks! I think she’s a looker. Have a nice headache rack I had to remove to get her in the garage. Would love to get it back on someday since it looks great with the push bar. I’m a bit paranoid of the moisture here in the PNW after she’s lived in the high desert since the 80’s. She’s got a leak on the driver’s side of the windshield, so water drips in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
