I have had people call her the Tangerine Machine. She is a 1974 F100 4x4, has a 390ci, 2bbl carb, 3:50 ratio, and a pretty sweet addition of a side bed toolbox to her! She aint perfect yet, but she sounds and looks pretty good for being 41 years old in March!!



Before I put her nice shiny tool box on





Washing her after her first Michigan winter





That toolbox I mentioned

 

Pretty sweet looking truck.

 

Very nice! Those rims are sharp

 

Thanks man it needs some tlc but nothing major she is my dd nowadays until college starts!

 

THanks man its my dd until college it needs some tlc but not alot

 

Sweet 4x4, how long have you owned it?

 

What is up with the visor up front? I've seen one on a 78 near me and thought it was aftermarket, but you seem to have the same one. Nice truck too! Really cool color. Not every body style can pull off oranges, blues, reds, and different shades of brown but our trucks seem to do really well with them. Your trucks is super slick.

 

Sharp! I like it!

 

I LIKE IT!!!!!!

 

Very sharp truck, I am sure you know to make sure you wash out behind that 3" bottom chrome, bad rust magnet.

Also I would mask off that TB handle and paint it with something?

 

Very sweet, that thing is clean. . . I also had I set of rims like that on my bronco.. I got rid of them a month or two ago. Guy said he special ordered them back in the 80s and at that time they were considered an older retro design.

 

i know that car wash,i think ,MC maybe. Where in Mich.? Im in Grass lake. I painted my buddies 77 orange back in the early 80's, i hve only a couple pic's of it but arent pretty,nice looking truck and Rich is correct,the bottom trim hides a lot.

 

I love the orange color on dents, it was the color of my first new truck I bought when I was 16yrs old, 1977 F250 hiboy!! I wouldn't paint the TB handle, I took mine off and sanded it with 3000 grit then polished it with a dremel tool using flitz polish and it looks great!!

Crappy pic...

 

I'm in Michigan also. Where did you find that clean truck or did you restore it. Don't see too many of those here unless someone takes the time and effort, not to mention money to restore them. Nice truck man.

 

Nice truck. Wash behind the chrome and mounts, and she will serve you well.
