Big Red and Old Blue

[Fordboy300]

Hi guys some of you may know me from the FTE for the one that don't I own two 1986 ford trucks one being a F150 and the other a F250. Both very great truck Big Red and I carry a lot of memories since I was a little baby boy, and now being handed down from my dad. My father is the original owner of big red it's been in our family since its rolled of the showroom floor and the rest is history.

Big Red has a 300 six along with a Tremec RTS trans 2wd five years ago I rebuilt the old 300 hopped it up a bit now it's fun to drive every time I drive it.

Old Blue I bought two years ago and was originally tan. Blue was a old farm/ranch truck according to my uncle. He said he use to see that truck haul a trailer with six horses haha I dont know if he was overreacting with that statement. But he bought the truck and it was in rough condition when he got It he had the body work done on it very poorly but it is what it is. I didn't notice till after I bought it. But the truck had a new paint job and then sat in the woods for ten year before I rescued it. It instantly turned on almost like it knew I was gonna help it be on the road again it's rough around the edges but she hasn't let me down yet thank God.

Old Blue has a 351w HO along with C6 transmission and is 4x4. Since I've own the truck I got rid of all the emission smog equipment that came with it and did just a basic tune up and change the carb to a street demon 625 which is basically a thermoquad.

Thats the story on my two trucks.

Thanks Gary for letting be apart of your forum.

I kinda thought I knew you. Welcome to the Bullnose Forum!

You have a good mix of trucks - the F150 for tooling around and the F250 for doing lots of work.

So, what are your plans for them? You might want to start threads for each of them as you start working on them. That way you can keep track and we can follow along.
