Howdy everyone!
I didn't see anywhere a new member can introduce themself, so I figured I would do it here. (Moderator/Administrator: if there is a more appropriate spot, I apologize for posting in the wrong place).
With this being a Ford diesel truck forum I guess I better explain why I am here and the appropriate rigs I have for this forum. I have been lurking around as a guest for a long time and figured it was time to become a member.
I personally own a 1994 F-350 CC Turbo Diesel. I have some BIG plans for it, of which I will get into in another post. I got it from my brother who purchased it years ago from someone to use as his logging crummy. He used it for a little while, and then had a problem with the turbo, I believe, and parked it. He then bought a different truck and was just letting this one rot away in the brush. Well, I started dating this girl (now my fiancee`) who owns/drives a 1994 F-250 Turbo Diesel w/ a Dana 60 swap lifted 6". Her truck had the E4OD transmission, of which was going downhill fast. My brother owed me some money, so I took the truck of his hands for two reasons:
1. It had a Dana 60, of which I wanted and,
2. It had a ZF5 that could go into my fiancee`s truck
Well, after doing the ZF5 swap with her dad, he got to talking to me and convinced me we should rebuild the truck I have from the frame up. I was originally going to put the Dana 60 under a F-250 powerstroke and scrap the rest. Well, I like the idea of a non-computerized, reliable truck. So, my big plan is to slowly rebuild this truck from the frame up along with my future father-in-law and brother-in-laws help...and hopefully the fine people of this forum's help.
I apologize for the long post, but hopefully this is a good introduction of myself. I look forward to being a part of this forum and to building a truck that one day I can be proud of knowing I was able to build and save from going to the scrap yard.

Don't feel you need to ask only smart questions. We answer all questions. We like to keep others from making the uninformed mistakes some of us have made. Usually asking questions solves the dumb mistakes before they happen...
