New Guy Here
 

Hey guys, I'm new here. I live in Oregon, about 30 miles east of Salem. I'm a junior in high school and I'm a diesel junky. Currently I'm not employed, but over the summers I work with my father who is an electrician, we do mostly agricultural and industrial stuff. When I was 13 my grandfather told me he would give me his pickup (cause he had two at the time, the one I own, and his 99 Dodge 2500 cummins) just as long as I didnt wear baggy pants, have earings, or have long hair. No problem for me, I'm not into that sort of stuff. So now on to my truck. I own a 1985 Ford F-250 with the 6.9 IH IDI diesel, T-19 4-speed tranny, 4x4, Regular cab long bed. Since I've gotten it I've had it painted with Dupont Blazing fire red basecoat/clearcoat system (2 base, 2 clear). I then threw on a set of Eagle alloys series 186 in 16x8" with BFG T/A 285/75/16 E tires. I went on a shopping spree in the LMC catalog, I've boughten all new chrome exterior pieces, from the bumpers to the grille and everything in-between. I have sitting in our shop a rebuilt ATS wastegated turbo, and it will go on the truck when I get some gauges and figure out what I need to do with the exhaust. Then after that I'm going to have a stereo installed (no worries I'm not into that rap crap, so I wont be "thumpin" going down the road). I'll load up a pic in a bit for you guys.

Dang, you cant load up that big of a picture can you. Only 29kb for a jpeg, that a little small. Only a thought.... Heres the pic though.
