oldmansimek Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Not sure how I never knew about this forum, but I have and have had alot of these trucks. Currently buttoning up a 12 valve compound turbo swap on my 81, took it for its first real drive yesterday. The 81 was bought new by my father and shortly after that rushed me to the delivery room so needless to say it has always been a huge part of my life. I currently own 4 80-86 fords (i think, could always be one hidden that i forgot about) I have had at least 20 of these trucks in all shapes and sizes.

Gary Lewis Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Welcome! Glad you joined. As Scott said, we need to see pics of the '81. How 'bout starting a thread in the main section on it and showing us what you've done? Where's home? I ask because we have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and we could add you with a city/state or zip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
