New to Forum 83 F150

Hello,

I'm starting to research BullNose pickups. I bought a new to me 1983 F150 with a 300 Inline 6, AOD transmission, 4X2 with 3:55 gears and limited slip.

It's a solid truck that has a few issues but I've been systematically working through them. If there's interest in what I've done so far let me know and I'll try and bring everyone up to speed.

1991 F150 300 Inline 6, M5OD Transmission,
4X2 2:73 Gears open Diff (for now)

Welcome! Glad you joined.

Nice looking truck. Would love to see what you've done. Maybe start a thread in the main section and tell us all about it?

Where's home? We have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and can add you with a city/state or zip.

Reading! I know where that is as I used to live in Kennett Square.

You are now on the map.

When is the gathering? My work schedule can be a hot mess at times but I'd show up if I were off.

Nothing yet.

A newer member from Pennsylvania inquired about having a more local meeting than Skiatook Oklahoma.....

I guess he lives in the capital region somewhere. 🤷‍♂️

If something starts to coalesce I'll be sure to pin it to the main page. 👍
