Hi everyone. My name is Matt, and I have a 77 f-150 4x4. I saved it from the salvage yard. Not the first Ford I have had, but I do love the dent sides. The body is shot-but I like it that way-for now. It currently has a 351M, granny geared 3 speed. I am almost ready to start the change. I am installing a 5.0, .030, milled and ported heads, X303 cam, and the rest is typical, Holley, Edelbrock, Comp rollers, headers, etc. I have a 95' Mazda o.d 5 gear and transfer going behind the 5.0. The trans and case are updated and ready for my daily driver 150. Diff gears are 4:10s. The old modified really screams the rpm song at 55mph. As soon as I figure out how to post some pics, I'll post them up for you all. I am a medical implant/device machinest by trade, and run a resto shop in my spare time. Looking forward to getting to know you all.Stay tuned.......

Default Posting Pictures

Hit 'Reply' and type in your text then scroll down to 'Manage Attachments.' Click on this button and then click on 'Browse.' It will take you to your computer and you can choose your pictures to upload. Then click the 'Upload' button on the right. Once the picture is uploaded, close the window and you will be back at your reply page. Then you can scroll down and either preview or post.

Hope this helps...

Well,....phooey! I have tried to post from two different computers, followed the directions for posting pics exactly, and my pictures size is 2.49 so I am way under the max of 117. I have no trouble posting pics on another forum. This forum keeps sending a message back that says " F150 forums has rejected upload". Any other ideas guys???

I just uploaded pics to my my photo album and it resized them as it said it would,
"Maximum File Size per Picture 195.3 KB
Maximum Picture Dimensions 600 by 600 Pixels Pictures will be automatically resized to fit within these constraints if possible. However, you may receive better results by doing it manually."

My pics were 205 to 300 kb.

This Pic was 304kb and it uploaded and changed to 117.9kb

I'm at a loss. Is you pic in KB or MB?

Thanks it was my father-in-laws before he died. Has only 88,000 miles. He was from Texas (the front tag was his, Mississippi does not use front tags)
