Hello everyone, new member and 1983 F150 join the group.

Hello everyone, a few weeks ago I bought a truck that was apparently forgotten by its previous owner, my intention is to learn new things and have a hobby in which I can invest time in the afternoon.

So far everything is going well, I am learning and doing things for myself, I have some parts, I learned to weld and I am repairing many details.

I know that due to the period of time that was abandoned it requires a lot of work and love, but it is only a matter of time and effort to achieve results.

Thanks to this forum I have been able to solve many doubts and learn a lot about this type of truck to move forward with this project.

Welcome!  Glad to meet you.  

Where's home?  We have a member's map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and I'd be happy to add you if I knew a town/city and state.  Who knows, maybe you are our neighbor?

And, glad the forum and website are helping.  It is amazing how many problems vehicles acquire when left to themselves for years.  I liken them to onions - we have to peel them and cry, peel them and cry.  But eventually we have so many onion rings we can have a bloomin' onion!
