here is a commercial i have been looking high and low for online, i found it, and i posted it on Youtube, its the first time its ever been posted on Youtube, only other commercials i see are for the 78-79 dentside trucks, thus this is a rare commercial, also it has a paint scheme much like my truck, so its neat to watch! i hope you all enjoy!

heres another one. not for the 70s though

YouTube - Ford Truck VS King Kong Kid

 

Have you ever seen the movie "the mexican" with Brad Pitt. I'm pretty sure he ends up with a dentside and mangy dog that lives in the bed towards the end of the flick. He smashes that truck up pretty good and still keeps going.

There also a few of them in "no country for old men" too.

I love seeing dentsides portrayed as tanks. My rear bumper is kinda dented which warns other drivers "don't tailgate" When I'm driving in heavy Cali traffic i usually have a good buffer zone because other drivers know to stay back lol

 

A large sticker saying either 'I am illegal' or 'I have no insurance' will help also.

 

personally, im a fan of the "i may be slow, but im still ahead of you" receiver hitch cover. works well with a custom flatbed. cars be backed up for miles and miles behind my 76...

 

glad everyone enjoyed the video, i wish more of these old commercials would hit the internet, as i often just hear stories about these old commercials,

also anyone know who was behind the design of the dentside trucks? there doesn't seem to be too much history on that, i think they did a great job! who ever that nameless person or persons are!

bet numberdummy would have an idea.

 

Probably some old dude living in a log cabin in Michigan hoping his Ford pension doesn't run out.

There is some good info here.
