Howdy everybody I am new here but not new to forums or Fords. I am only 18 but have been working on Fords since I could really pick up a wrench. I still run into troubles that I don't know and like having forums to fall back on to ask. My name is Travis most of the time I love working on Ford pickups but I also love working on Harleys and riding them. I live out in the country and love it so my families' trucks do take a beating. I do live with my parents but there is many reason to that and it gives me a reason to drive different trucks all the time. Most of my families' trucks are 87-91s but we do have a few newer trucks. I get to drive all of them we all share but we do all have are personal vehicles to modify the way we like them. So instead of boring you about me will talk a bit about what everybody wants to hear the trucks and there modifications: My personal truck is a 1988 Ford F150 4x4 302 regular cab long bed C6 auto transmission custom package. Currently the only mods are fender flares, 70's wiper and headlight knobs, 80-86 window handles, cat delete, shift kit in transmission and it is completely rebuilt, 56K miles on the entire truck almost perfectly straight, sliding rear window, 3.55LS gears, chrome wheels (stock wagon wheels), Cb, diamond plate bed rails, gooseneck hitch (coming out), and more. Currently she is down I just picked up an engine to rebuild though (old one through a rod). She is my baby and I have tons of more mods to come. The truck me and my dad share is a 2002 Ford F250 4x4 Crew cab V10 short bed 4R100 trans 3.73LS gears lariat with cloth seats. mods include 05 grille and bumpers (xl right now), custom 2 tone paint, bully dog chip, banks exhaust, airaid drop in filter, bigger fuel tank, weather guard tool box 05 running boards (going to get power boards one day), tinted windows, sliding rear window, slide and lock tie downs, stainless steel fuel rail, 1psi or 2psi (can't remember) bigger injectors, spray in liner, 02 license plate bracket and more. She runs and drives and is tons of fun to drive. Tons of more mods to come on her once she is officially just mine. My mom's truck is a 1997 Ford Expedition 4x4 4.6L 4r70W 3.55LS XLT. no mods on her right now but hope to modify it soon. my brothers (youngest) is a 1984 Ford Bronco 2 4x4 2.8L TK5 transmission eddie baure 3.55 open diff(going to be changed). Mods currently are newer engine trans and t-case, 97 ranger console, hitch, rattle can paint, and tons more to come. This one is down as the clutch went but my brother doesn't even drive yet so that's ok. Dad's 1989 Ford F250 4x4 XL regular cab long bed flat bed 351W ZF5 4.10s with D44HD front LS. Only mods on it are tons of lights, brush guard, bench seat swap, flatbed and that's it. Maybe more will come but not right now. Hauler truck is a 1989 F350 2wd crew cab long bed ZF5 460 V8 3.73LS right now. No mods other then a flatbed right now. I am converting it to a dually 4x4 truck. Lastly of the Fords for now (more probably will come) is my brothers 1991 Ford F250 4x4 extended cab long bed 3.55 open diff E4OD trans XLT Lariat. Only mods done so far are mud flaps (coming off), warn winch 92-96 bumper, tinted windows (done poorly), crate engine (no good right now). Currently the engine is down I have to rebuild it and get it up and going for my brother. Those are all my families' fords but we also have 2 Harleys and a Chevy (may go soon only chevy). If you want to know more about me then fire away also you can find out more about my vehicles. (I am on other forums like FTE, ranger station, 460ford.com, and F150 forums)
Ok here we go some pics of the rides: My 88 F150 after cleaning her up: The 84 Bronco 2s good side (it is still ugly no matter what as it has rust (going to fix when I get a garage) The 91 F250 of my brothers (I haven't gotten updated pics yet of it as I just got this truck (I know it doesn't look the prettiest right now) The 02 F250 towing one of our bikes: Best pic right now of the 89 F250 flatbed (yes the bumper is tweaked the truck was in an accident before I got it) The 97 Expedition and the B2 before the paint: And the 89 F350 hauler truck: We hope to one day get also a crew cab or extended (maybe regular cab) short bed truck of the 87-96 era, a 80-86 F150 again, a ranger of the same era as our B2, and personally I want another expedition to drop a V10 ZF6 in with 8 inch lift on Sterling 10.5 rear and D60 front with some 44s maybe a 2inch with 35s. HAHA We use to have a 86 F150 4x4 302 AOD 3.55LS but we traded it for a Harley (not the one on the trailer), also had a 93 F250 4x4 460 V8 ZF5 super cab 4.30 LS F450 springs faded red, a 90 Ford E150 van 351W, another 84 Bronco 2 4x4 (lost the van and bronco 2 in a fire), an 03 Crown Victoria, and lastly the only ford I have ever hated a 06 F150 2wd crew short bed.

I may very well have but I had somebody hack into my email address and I had to change and then I got extremely busy. Thanks. I will post more pics as soon as I get some more better pics of the trucks. Thanks they sure aren't the prettiest right now but one day they will be nice and running ready to tear up the town and throw some mud. LOL Trav Couple of pics: where the rod went through my pan on my 88 F150: Doing a little flexing at the end of the road with a load of scrap after I got a flat in my 88:
