New in CO '72 F100

Post by reflectionpoint »

Hey all, great forum here with a lot of useful information. I'm glad I joined. This is my first post.. so pardon me for the dang newbie questions and such. I hope to become another useful member of the community and contribute from my skillset. Though I'm young (mid twenties) I have a great love of all things old and good. I have worked in retail electronics for 5 years and also retail tires/wheels for 2 years. I can help with some electrical (mostly devices, stereos, amps, etc. and aftermarket wiring) and also with tire sizing, wheel offset, load range, tread type and most questions to do with tires. If I don't know something about tires/wheels I work with a guru who has been in the industry for over 23 years.. so I can find out! haha.

This is my '72 F102 LWB RWD.

I made a bigger post with more details and some questions in the Engine forum but thought I ought to come over here and introduce myself.. I think it's what my mom called manners. lol
