Hi Guys and Gals

Guitartruck Mark here from Scottsdale AZ.  I have been over on the FTE forum for a while.  I have a 1982 F150 XLT Lariat , 302, C6 2wd, 2.70 in the back, that everytime I drive I have a smile on my face. I've had the truck for about 2 years now.  It is my father in-laws; I got when he took himeslf off the road.  Nebraska truck full of Nebraska rust in all of the usual places.  Runs well but leaks like a sieve.  Home reno projects are done so I am starting back up on the truck.  Attached is a picture of the old girl.  

I will start up a thread on her after the holidays showing progress. Look forward to being part of the community here!!

Welcome, Mark!    Glad you joined us.

And, I like the truck.  The paint scheme is very close to that of Big Blue.

By the way, we have a member's map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map) and I can add you to it if you'd like.

Thanks Gary. I would gladly be part of the member map. I am located in Scottsdale Arizona. As for the paint scheme I am planning on keeping it very similar when the body work is down. May try to use a more metallic light blue but overall will be same.

Welcome aboard Guitar truck.

Interesting that your truck has the little mirrors (mine has these also). I don't think I've seen them on a 2-tone truck before...I thought they were only offered on single color plain option-less trucks like mine.

In any case it looks great. I'm anxious to see the progress.

You are on the map.  And, I note that you across town from member 500$F-150.  You can email him by clicking on his flag on the map and then clicking on the email link.  Perhaps you two can meet.

Interesting story about these mirrors. When I got the truck my father in law- who was known for his Rube Goldberg like engineering skills had put two old truck mirrors-two different ones mind you- off a semi that he found in a junk yard free box and drilled the hell out of the doors to mount them. The truck looked like it had dumbo ears 🤣. When I got the truck,both mirrors were broken so......Dad gave me these two mirrors you see on the truck.  They fit the original existing holes in the door so on they went. They are functional, but when I get to the bodywork I will go with larger mirrors you see on most bull noses.
