Ford Truckaholic
Hello,
My name is Ilya and I'm a Ford Truckaholic. I was referred here by Tim, "mtflat". It's nice to have another, and in my opinion, better alternative to that "other" Ford truck website. I plan to make myself at home here.
A little bit about myself... My wife bought the first Panel truck, the 51, back in late 2004 or so for her father. It has since become mine in a way since I'm the only one spending money on it while he gets to enjoy it from time to time. In about 2005, I purchased my own truck, this time it was a 52. That's when Bonus Built fever set in. (I also own a 37 Chrysler Airflow, but that's another story).
Since then, I must have had over a dozen trucks come through my hands that I've either parted out, put together and sold. I still dabble in parts to support my truckaholism. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it.
Currently, I'm in the process of finishing the engine rebuild and installation in my 52. Once that's done, the 51 will be tackled as it needs attention.
I hope to contribute my knowledge amongst all of the other members on this forum. Thanks for having me.
