I am more interested in just here on FB so we can chat about things specific to pikups, but an actual MARC/MAFCA club would be fun, too!! Ether way, I'm in and will help!

Yeah, my concern is that we all agree a PU group here and/or an official MARC/MAFCA group is a great idea but that it ends up just laying here. So, to start, does anyone know how to start a group here on Fordbarn? My plan is to contact the official groups next week to see what it takes to start an official "chapter" and then to let you know.

Patty, is that your truck in your avatar? It looks like it could be a York Hoover or other after market body. Do you have a pic of the complete truck?

I've found threads like this are more active then the offset social groups. Unless someone spearheads the social groups, it works... but most questions fall To the main board. Maybe because the main board is where everyone of interest is. Just what I have noticed, the main boards are a great place for info.

I joined, but not sure what we are doing. I have been working on a 29 OCPU that I picked up as a basket case 30 years ago. Started it last year when I retired. Chassis is done, and working on the sheet metal now.

At last check, there are 77 members of the Fordbarn "Pickup" social group:

http://www.fordbarn.com/forum/group.php?groupid=5

Could be more active.

Don't forget the www. in the URL link.
