Hello, just found this site last night and had to sign up. I live in Arkansas and I have a 77 F150 Custom 4x4, I call it Mater. My truck is pretty much stock right now, it has a 300, np435, 3.54 gear and 35's. I am in the process of doing body work and getting it ready for paint. I have replaced the floor pans, body bushings and I just installed a bench seat from a 94. I also have a 351C I am waiting to rebuild to swap in. Here is Mater.

[MUDDER460]

Thanks guy, glad to be here. Mater is a slow work in progress but it will get there.

Mind if I ask, why did you make is Mater ??

 

[HazzardMadWolf]

Welcome. A lot of nice guys and gals here. If you got questions they've got answers.

It got named Mater from my neighbor. I started tearing the truck apart and I got tasked to deploy shortly after I started. So it sat partially taken apart and my neighbor thought it looked like Mater so the name stuck.

Ah, I see..
So your in the service? which branch? and did you kick any *** while you were away sir?

 

[MUDDER460]

Yes I am in the service, I am in the Air Force (almost 12yrs). Yes I did kick some *** cause my job is fuels, so without me...nothing moves!

HI and WELCOME to FTF and what a great looking truck!!!

Welcome! You have one of Ford's best looking trucks. I bought a 77 half-ton new, and then about 10 years ago I had to have another one. It's a project patiently waiting for me.
