- Our club is open to anyone owning a 1948 to 1983 Ford F-1 or F-100 half-ton pickup or panel truck or ANY 1948 to 1979 FORD Commercial Vehicle. If you’ve got a Ford delivery truck, fire truck, van, Ranchero, flatbed or panel, we want you!

- Help us plan our next big car show to raise money for Meals on Wheels, the Armed Services YMCA and other local charities.
- Along with our annual show, we get together as a group every month and take a drive! We’ve been to museums, we’ve been to the casinos, we join other clubs on their runs but we always have a good time!
