Hello from South Louisiana
Been a site browser for several years; finally decided to get registered after reviewing some great advice on the forum recently (rebuilding my bed). Maybe I can repay the favor one day. Picked up my pawpaw's (grandfather's) 1969 F100 Longbed in 1981 after he passed away - I've been driving/using it ever since - aside from time it sat in a shed while I was in the service/deployed. She's not all that pretty anymore, but I've been in her since I was about one-year-old and she's family. I was even hired as an extra this past year to drive her in a movie they filmed nearby (the truck got $200, they only gave me $100). Still using it several times a month and just trying to keep up with the rust and body work. Thank you FORDification and the folks here on the site.

Re: Hello from South Louisiana
Welcome to the site! How about posting up a pic or two of your truck. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would love to see it.

Picture of my '69 from the movie 'set' ["Troupe Zero"] with her makeup on (cheap grey primer). She was originally Arcadian Blue, which I'm hoping to get her repainted with in the next few months (o.k., years).

Re: Hello from South Louisiana
Merci pour l’accueil! Morgan City myself; spent most my growing up between there and Belle River/Pierre Part - so I was just down LA20/HWY90 from you. Over towards Boutte since I left the service, but my oldest goes to school in Lafayette. Small world, especially since both my truck and I “played” Georgians in the movie I mentioned. I’m sure we’ll ‘pass a visit’ on the site from time to time!

Re: Hello from South Louisiana
Actually lived more north before moving to Georgia in 1990. A dam yankee by your standards.
15 miles from the Arkansas border and 45 mins west of Shreveport. Keep us updated on your truck!
