Another newbie saying hi

[John in AZ]

Hi I am also new here & as mentioned in the other new guy's post here is my intro.
I am John Norton I live out here in sunny rust free AZ. My first "car" was a 73 F100 & have owned a ton over the years. After the last 10 years or so in the Jeep world I came back to my first love.
Currently working on a 78 Bronco & a 79 F250 4x4 supercab. On the back burner is a 79 4x4 Short bed still wearing it's original paint & 2 registered owners
Here is a pic of the bronco & the short bed. (if i figured it out)

Very nice! Looks like you have a collection, too. Now you need a crew cab!

Yeah, that is insane....I've never been a fan of those.

Nice trucks and welcome! I put a set of those turbines on a Datsun B210 when I was younger. It looked Hawt.

 

[bucks77ford]

Those are some sweet trucks. Gotta love the turbines.

 

[LEB Ben]

Very nice...always great to have another dentside owner here. So welcome aboard and enjoy your stay.

Me too.
Thanks all
I am not a big fan of the turbines I have a complete set of 5 with lugs no center caps if anyone is interested.

here is the bronco today (not much different looking but running much better)

Here is the blue supercab. It has some rust but runs so well I am going to fix it.

What all did you have to do to get the Super Duty wheels to fit?

Welcome and nice collection of trucks you got there.

 

[Alvin in AZ]

Cool.

Where you at, John?
(I got stuck in Vail, never made it back to Bowie)

Guessing that's the original paint on the Bronco?
Scruffy looking original paint beats fancy-looking new paint IMO.

I am in queen creek. I just picked the bronco up in vail on saturday. all of them are original paint except for some rattle can crap(touch up) on the supercab
the superduty wheels are on there with some expensive adaptors that came on the last supercab I had.
