Good afternoon. I found you guys while researching my 1986 f150. I joined after reading the feed back and replies people have posted. The site seems to have a more up lifting atmosphere than others I have read. The information available here is amazing.

I was browsing a Facebook page of bullnose trucks and one fella mentioned going to your page to look up brake issues. I found it very resourceful. Doug

Glad you guy found us.
Yes, we try to be uplifting. We are all in need of help at some point, and sometimes that is just for moral support, so pitch in to help others when and where we can. Plus, we have more documentation on these trucks than anywhere else. So it makes for a good combination.

Vaughn - I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying you were on another forum and needed pics, which you found here?

Hello, I'm pretty sure I had searched for info on 85 Ford150 through Bing.
I want to thank you guys for putting together an Outstanding website, and also for the "decorum" present in the posts and such... it is refreshing see such civility. I look forward to interacting on some of the other posts. Dave

Dave - Glad you joined us! And, thanks for the compliments. We strive to be civil and helpful.
Two things. First, you found a way to post in New Members Start Here that I'd not thought of. Usually people start a new topic to introduce themselves, but this works well enough that I promoted you to Member and you can now post in the main forum. Second, where in Mississippi? 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 or a zip.

You are now on the map. But Google wanted to put 39529 slightly different than Bay St Louis. Did I get you in about the right place?

I was doing endless amounts of google searches for AC brackets and kept coming to some site that said garys something or other... Finally I found a graphic on this site that had a PDF that detailed the diagram of the engine AC system:

When you are choosing antivirus software, you'll have narrowed it right down to a couple of programs, but you are not sure which of them you ought to pick. If so, there are a couple of features of the antivirus programs that you simply should check out and compare to assist together with your antivirus decision. One thing which will be helpful when picking between several antivirus software programs is trying to find consumer websites. Typically these websites have already done the reviews of the antivirus software for you, and may show you ways various components rate. the sole problem with online antivirus comparisons is that the programs you're trying to find might not be in their comparison, which leaves you back at situation.
