Beautiful truck. Nice find. Welcome to FTE!

 

wow .. nice truck.. looks like it was well taken care of

 

Thanks I am happy to find it been looking for over a year
Not sure what direction I'll go with it. My guess is to keep it original as possible the old girl earned it

 

with a truck that clean..i could not bring myself to change a thing!!!..
most of mine needed restoration when i got them so i dont care about changing things around.

 

I agree my head is spinning... been a long time since I had something old my last project was a 76 mgb sunk a ton into it

 

its got the drop I beams, but a long ways from the cv








seats are in good shape, but need some tlc to clean and soften up


this is my 1971 with 67 front end. I have a cv front end and king ranch f150 buckets waiting to go in. I want to get rid of the 3 speed auto for a five speed to sit behind the 302. Has anyone got any direction for me to go on the 5 speed?

 

i have a 72 with a 67 grille.. and i just picked up a SWB just because i could.... but as you can see that is the condition of truck i usually get.. not anything like yours




loaded up and ready for the 150 mile trip home

 

I just bought mine a little over a year ago and in its current condition. I have big plans for its future and the 72 next to it will donate its hood and doors and possibly cab depending on how bad the 71 proves to be.

 

Sure going to have a lot of fun here. Love the old school flatbed

 

1971 F-250 Custom, 360/C6. Found it in an ad for the slide-in camper the owner was trying to sell. That front fender and bumper is the only real damage on it. Complete with the original owners 12 Armored Division emblem on the front grille.


The interior was just as clean, complete with a Book of Psalms in the door and a 30 year old Forest Service map with all the old guys fishing spots (and one where his dog died) marked on it in the glovebox.

 

nice find.. really hard to find trucks that clean in this area (ozark mountains).. here the trucks were used until they were dead!!!... then rebuilt and used some more....

 

What a great find amigo. Wish that truck could talk, but if you listen awhile, it will speak to you about the former owner. I am betting that there is a Ford dealership near, that knows that truck. Its been cared for..

Baja

 

Finally got her home today... cleaned her up with some rubbing compound... so far no major surprises did find the driver floor board was patched good enough for now. Wheels wells solid no patches that I can tell.





The hood was repainted but they did not do a good job

Seat bounces like a kids bounce house got to fix that not sure how yet?

Took off the trailer hitch, fixed hacked wiring and straightened out the pipes





Going to DMV Tuesday for plates switch over the points and condenser to a petronix

Taking it slow Happy took over a year to find one

What a difference from 1970 to 2015

 

nice... looks like it is a real clean truck, you should not be too ashamed when driving it..

 

Bajafishnut, the front on mine still has the dealer license plate frame on it and that dealer is about 40 miles from where I bought it. I am going to run by there soon and see if they have any history on it for me! Funny too because I had not heard of this particular dealer before.

dkj313, super clean find there! Any cool finds in the truck?
