Hello everyone, obviously I am new to this forum. I am looking for the right forum for me, I recently inherited a 1974 N70 (LN700) dump truck. It is in good condition as it has been barn stored and only driven periodically the last 3-4 years. I joined the FTE (Ford Truck Enthusiasts) forum and there are a couple of really knowledgeable members but it is apparent that I have questions that are not being given even the least bit of response.
I have NEVER owned a large truck but have been a Ford man my whole life, I currently own a 2004 F350 SD 6.0 extended cab, long bed. 1985 F250 with 351w, and 3 ford tractors as well as the new edition '74 LN700, it has the 361 FT (HD) engine, 5 speed with 2 speed rear-end. It has a 9000 lb front axle as well. The GVW is 26000 even so no CDL is required (thank God).
I just need to learn about this vehicle, find some parts and meet some good people... I enjoy conversation, I will give you respect and in return I would appreciate the same.
One last note, I agree with Steve Frazier's quote: "God, Guns & Guts made America Free!!". I am a beginning gun collector and have around 20 different weapons at this point... I know this forum is for trucks but his comment deserved recognition...
I am an American, I am a US ARMY Veteran (19K - M1 Abrams) and I believe OUR country is in desperate need of overhaul, our government is overstepping its boundaries everyday. Our public servants rule with "intimidation" and "scare" tactics. Their aggressive tactics are considered abuse and the American people need to take back what our founding fathers made clear for us.
Damn, sorry for the rant... sometimes I get a little "patriotic"... LOL
Thanks for having me here and I hope to meet some nice people and learn a ton!
