Hello From Central Illinois

Hey I'm new on here. From Central Illinois. I acquired an '86 F150 through a trade last year. Traded a Dodge Caliber that wasn't running for it.

I've did a few things to the truck over the winter. So far it has new front brakes, calipers and rotors. Not finished yet but I will get there hopefully this summer. I'm not a mechanic but I have worked on my own vehicles for over 10 years and love doing it. I'm still learning new things with each vehicle I get to work with.

Ball joints
Tie rods/ends
Used steering gear box
Pitman arm

Glued carpet cover over dash with contact cement. Didn't turn out half bad, will post photos,. Headliner

Duraspark II conversation
Carter YF carb replacement (non feedback from eBay)

Removed some unneeded vacuum accessories

Removed the '86 PCM

Welcome to the forum! Glad you joined.

We have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and we'd be happy to add you if we had a city/town/zip.

On the pics, you can post them on here. The instructions are on the page at Bullnose Forum/Forum FAQ's.

And, how about a signature? How to do that's also in the FAQ's, and it helps us give you good answers to your questions as we know what your truck is.

In addition, you could put your name in there 'cause it is going to get old calling you Newusr.

Re: Hello From Central Illinois

Im in good old Decatur IL. Name is AJ btw. Using the forums on the smartphone is less to be desired by me. So I'm working on familiarizing myself with the forums. I've been members of other forums. Crownvic.net and grandmarq.net. along with some other ones. I have been trolling on here for about 6-7 months off and on, and yesterday finally decided to join.

Looking forward to all the information I can gather from you guys and hopefully I can contribute some back myself.

Thanks!
