OR your photographer safely down low in the wash camera up. It would have looked like you were jumping the Grand Canyon.

Screw it just go ahead and make it into a baja 500 truck put a ford racing crate motor along with prob 20k for suspension and other odd ends and you should be on your way to a first place no problem. If you're not first you're last!!

With a few slight modifications and fixes I'd be willing to go baja racing in it as is!

351ClevelandC4,
Nice truck. My uncle used to drive like that on the back roads near his place. Pretty exciting ride when you're only a youngster!

When was your truck made, late 71? My 72 F250 Camper Special had the same grill as yours. I don't remember when it was made but it's my favourite bumpside grill. When I get another bumpside I want to have the same grill again.

My truck was made in May '71. All the 71s had that grille. '72 was very similar, cept it had 8 squares instead of the '71 having 12.

My 72 was a Canadian Issue so maybe they had the 71 grill? I'm not sure about why mine had the same grill as yours but it did. Best looking grill on the bumpsides although the 70 grille is a close second.

Thanks for the reply.

Canadian '72s had '72 grilles. Someone swapped it.

Yea, you could be right. Or maybe it was a late production 71 and was simply registered as a 72? I bought it from the original owner and he didn't modify it. I guess it's just one of the older Ford mysteries.
