New at this!

Post by Big Bear »

I own a 1968 Mercury 1/2 ton and want to restore/trick it up. I don't have a clue where to start or what to do. Where is as good place to go for ideas, how-to, getting parts. etc? Thanks for your help.

Welcome and you are there. This will be your best starting point for your truck. Lots of experience, ideas and facts. If you don't find something, ask about it and you will get plenty of feedback. :D
