looks like a good deal bob... glad it all worked out
hi terry and welcome to the room...i hope ya find a ford truck like ya want .. i dont get over joplin way very often anymore.. maybe i will meet ya at one of our GTG's we have from time to time
Thanks Guys.. I am still learning the site and look forward to maybe one of the GTG. I think Springfield has a big swap meet coming up in the near future. I always like going there. I go to Springfield to Buddys Salvage yard quite a bit so do some getting around.
I might be interested in the 77 if I don't find what I am looking for. I missed out on a Super cab short bed recently. Current plans now is to find a truck to restore and get back into Fords again. I plan on retiring in 10 years and want to have a truck to pull a vintage 70s travel trailer. I want both restored and some modern updates for practicality. It usually takes me 2 plus years to get a truck restored to where I want it to be and build it myself to the way I may have bought it from the factory.
As any gear head knows, usually one truck is not enough and can see me eventually having two different trucks for different purposes. I am a purist at heart but I like to take a truck with a little ugly to it that I am not going to bring the value down on and getting them looking good and adding creature comfort and features.
Welcome Terry ,glad your here so i am not the new guy anymore . Ill be at the fair if any one goes stop at the eplax we will be Cutting wood in the ac {smile}.
good morning missouri.. didnt get much done truck wise yesterday.. i played a little with a boat for dustyn.. later i just hung around the house watching the girls acting silly making up games to play.. they really dont want to go to the shop to do "any" work..dang lazy kids
not sure what you are looking for terry.. i think the only thing close to it, i have at the yard ....
kinda rough but i guess it would be a start
all i remember about this truck is i put a FE block from a 60's car in it..then a few years later bought it back from the guy.. havent had time to look to see what happened to it
Terry, yes it the 18-20 Aug. I have 2 spots and my buddy has 2 next to me. Look for the FTE banner and a big flat bed trailer with some stuff on it. lol
We are in the "white rail pipe" section, behind the Wells arena. Stop on by for a free cold water out of the FTE members only cooler. g
I will also offer parts storage while you are still shopping and I'll have a rubber tire dolly to borrow for the big stuff. lol
Here is a pic from the last swap meet a few of us meet up at.
Afternoon all. I was planning on getting some things done outside today, but Mother Nature rained on that parade early on. I did manage to get the battery out of the boy's car and got him a new one. Hopefully I'll get it in when things dry out, if not he's on his own. He's had it in and out a couple of times putting it on the charger so he'll be OK getting in.
Well FUDGE! Went to take the truck out to fill it up and it quit right in the freaking driveway. Now I've got to trace a cranks but no start condition...
Hello whiskey runner... That looks to be a solid looking truck. I have fixed up worse then that. I don't mind some rust as the floor boards and rear wheel wells is to be expected. I would be interested. I have Wednesdays-Thursdays off and would like to look at it if possible. I would prefer a Supercab myself. I missed out on a Supercab short bed and looked to be a one owner. Still kicking myself in the rear for missing it.
Hello John T supercab... Maybe we can get some more members will join up here. I will be the new guy for a while. Seems like younger generations just buy their trucks instead of making one anymore.
Hello 77&70F250.. Thanks for letting me know the dates. I will put in for one of those days off. I searched your statistics looking to see if there was a thread on what parts you sell. I found a thread where you showed the head liner out on a truck but no parts thread. The Joplin yards don't have much and I rather deal with Springfield. I will eventually buy a parts trucks and strip it down well to have my own stash of parts but some things you still wind up having to find.
I was supposed to look at a truck. It was a father and son project and from what I have been told it would of been a good deal. I understand that they may have gotten in over their head and was wanting to sell it but now that there is a possibility of it selling, I wonder if they got cold feet and may have changed their minds.
I have found several trucks sitting in my area, some over priced, rust buckets, or would not be much left of the original truck when I got done to make it worth buying. I will eventually find one. Some I still have not checked on either.

Terry i was younger when i got my super cab NEW. It's been a shop truck for the last 30 though so its got a lot of miles .
Terry I sale all kinds of 73-79 Ford truck parts, all used but very reusuable. I have sold lots of part to lots of FTE Missouri members and al over the US and overseas. I have 2 parts broncos and 2 parts trucks and a whole lot more.
I also have a 79 F250 SC LB (with rust on the SC lower part), but it has twin Dana 60's. Just pulled the 460 out of it, it still has the C-6 and NP-205....it is becoming a parts truck slowly but surely.
