Ford F-150 4x4 1986 - I´m new here

Thomas/Silver stallion
Hi all,

happy to be a member of this group. I bought my truck just a month ago and I really love it. During the last sunny days this year I used the chance to drive around. It´s running great, just the idle is struggling a little.

People here in Germany really like to watch this truck cruising through the streets. I got a lot of thumbs up.

Best regards!

Thomas - Welcome!  Glad you joined!  

This is particularly good as Heinz, from Oberursel, recently sold his truck, so while he is still a member and plans to get another one, we need more from Germany.

Where's home?  I ask because we have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and we can add you with a city - no real addresses as we don't want surprise visitors.

That's a beautiful truck.  Hope you'll start a thread in the main section to tell us all about it.

I thought that might be the case, which is why I mentioned Heinz.  Looked like his truck, and the timing was perfect.

You are now on the map.  But I've not been to Naumburg.  Nuremberg, as well as Oberurzel, and Frankfurt.  But not your town.

I have a friend moving to Amsterdam in the near future, and I plan to get some of our stickers to him in the hope that he'll pass them on to those of you on the Continent.  I'll let you know when the time comes.

Gary,

I gonna fly to McPherson Kansas from March 27th till 31st. Any chance to meet one of you there and get some of your stickers and pass them around in Germany afterwards?

By the way: After changing the fuel pressure regulator idle is running smoothly again.

Thomas - Glad the fuel pressure regulator fixed the problem.

As for seeing you in Kansas, I would love to.  Unfortunately I'm going to be visiting my kids then - far away.  So I can't be there to see you.    However, if I had an address I could have some stickers there waiting for you.

But, why McPherson?

I do hope to meet you “next time”.

How many stickers would you like?  Will you be able to get them to others?

I’ll get 10 of them on their way ASAP. We have a bit of weather happening now, but they will be there before you are.

And when you pass them on to others could you post some pictures?  It would be cool to see where the are going.

Thanks!

Excellent!  But it was actually John/Machspeed that sent them. He’s the sticker king.

Thomas, would be great to get one of the stickers as well for 1986 bullnose.
Schick mir gerne eine email an jochen1964@icloud.com, dann schicke ich dir gerne die Details. Sorry to switch to our mother tongue guys but I guess most of you are able to translate
Best regards
