Hi all; newbie here. Joined some Mercedes forums, so I thought "What the hey!? Might as well check out the ford guys (and gals!) too. I've got a 1973 F250 2WD 4 speed... Ol' Blue, great truck, always starts, never lets me down! Sorta' semi-retired right now, but slowly, one small step at a time, it's gonna be a real eye catcher! So, with a little(haha)money,a little time and a little expert advice, I'll have no trouble!

Well, we'll be waiting for some pictures. Why do you belong to the Mercedes forums? I worked at a Mercedes dealer for 19 years in the 70s and 80s. Don't remember much about them though.

Welcome to the forums.

I also have a 1987 190E that's also slowly being fixed up! Almost embarassed to post any pics right now... Ol' Blue is in pretty rough shape on the outside. I have put headers, and Edelbrock 500 CFM carb on it. Front end work next, then the cosmetics.

The running is the most important part anyway. You're going about that the right way.
