My New Hobby

[Don Baggett]

I recently bought a 1983 F150 4 x 4 with the 4.9 300 engine. It has the T 18 four-speed transmission, and I have put a rebuilt carburetor on it, installed a new heater core, and have done some work realigning the Power steering pulley. I have also removed the dash pad filled the speaker holes and cracks with Bondo, sanded it down and repainted. Working on this baby is like a street fight, you can just fall in anywhere. I am a 64-year-old Baptist preacher, and I have been a car guy all of my life. I also have two motorcycles, two boats, and some other toys. I have been lurking on this forum for a while, and now I look forward to being able to posting.

Sounds like fun - enjoy your battle!

It appears we have a few thing in common - my 86 F150/302/4 spd OD is still hauing full loads of firewood. At the moment I'm fighting an intake gasket leak with aluma-seal cause I'm not pulling it apart in -20F weather.

also I'm a 60 yr old pastor of a Lutheran church.... welcome!
