Hello, this is my first post, I joined a while ago but suffer from computer stagefright I suppose. Anyhow..I have gleaned plenty of great info here for my projects, and hope to be able to contribute when I can. Here's a couple photos of my driver, 1951 f1 pickup.

Welcome to the family Pineapple, I tend to be a lurker because I don't have much to offer but learn every day from this great group of people. Drive your truck and enjoy it. It looks like a very solid truck with great patina.

We need some better pictures for sure. That's funny, the truck looks lower in person. Now get to work, haha.

Hello!
Don't forget to check out the H.A.M.B. and Ford Truck Enthusiasts websites.

Hey Pineapple! Ah yes, another F-1. Alot of sharp people on this site. Can't wait to get Doris' F-1 done. Welcome.. Ken

bugsiegel · 06-07-2012, 08:05 PM

a pretty truck is a pretty truck and that's great for the one who wants a pretty truck.
But a driven, used, and and worn to comfort truck with all that showing on the not so white white walls is the greatest looking truck. I just ordered new white walls for my worn truck and I had a hard time deciding on black or white because my truck was used as a truck in its previous life. But after seeing your truck and the scuffs on the tires I'm glad I went the white wall route as well. No intentions of making it pretty here just want to driving it and keep it reliable. I guess for the first couple of weeks when the shiny white walls are installed I'll look kind of silly but a few kicks and curb scuffs and everything will line up just right.

Nice looking truck.
This is a great site and all of my inexperienced questions have been answered here.

Thanks again fellas, Bugsiegal, whitewalls will look bitchin on your truck, (I assume it's the one in your avatar). They're meant to be drivin and used.Once you spend all that time and blood rebuilding an old ford, it will take a lifetime to drive it all back out of it! Drive em!
