Gary Lewis Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Jon - Welcome! Your Ol' Blue sounds a lot like my Big Blue. At least in its current state. But it is down for a huge restomod during which the ZF5 will go in to replace the T19. But your namesake, Jonathan/Ford F834, has first dibbs on that one. Speaking of "Midwestern Missouri", where is home? We have the member's map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and I'd be happy to put you on the map. And, how 'bout coming to the Garagemahal Ford Truck Show & Swap Meet here in Skiatook, OK on Sept 21st? Skiatook is just north of Tulsa and shouldn't be all that far for you. And many of the folks on here hope to attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, we don't put exact addresses in the map, or even in our posts, as this is open to the whole world to see. So you may want to edit your post to take out the address. Just click More>Edit Post. And, please consider Jim/ArdWrknTrk's suggestion of creating a signature that tells us more about you and your truck. We like to call each other by name as that tends to take the anonymity out of things where people think they can say anything. And, having info there about your truck really helps us help you w/o asking lots of questions or scrolling back to re-read things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
