newbie from OZ, Kansas that is

Post by 1965Fred »

Just checking in, not sure of the proper protocol, so figured an intro is in order. Having arrived from the darkside, Govt Motors :twisted: , my 65 F100 CC is the first Ford I've had in many years. His name's Fred, and he's a pretty decent fellow. Not the prettiest of things but he gets the job done. He's being used to haul stuff for now and soon, he'll be towing my 64 Shasta Airflyte, Flo. I'll try to figure out how to get some pics up, I know everyone loves pics! :D

Pete. Welcome to you and Fred. You have a couple of neighbors, especially Pat from Kipp, Kansas.
Let us know if you need anything. Opinions and advice are not only cheap, but abundant around here. :wink:
The little Shasta is perfect for your truck. I sure would like to find a small Airstream one of these days.

:welcome: from Michigan. To post pics try this.

For pics it's best to load into photobucket. Then highlight the bottom code next press the control button & the letter c at the same time. go to your posting in Slick 60's and press control & the letter v at the same time, it will now show in your post.
