1978 Ford F-100 Is a Proper Service Station Tribute

Some will decry the fact that people are profiting from taking stock trucks and simply adding graphics and clear coat, then turning them for money. And they probably have a point. But we’re just grateful that this 1978 Ford F-100 remains bone stock otherwise. After all, you can easily throw a paint job on this pickup and call it a day. Chopping and cutting is a bit more difficult to reverse.

And if you’re a fan of old school service stations, you can’t help but fall in love. We certainly miss the days when the friendly fellow down the road would pump our gas and help us out when a hose busted. These days, gas station attendants can’t even tell you how long their hot dogs have been sitting out, let alone what kind of oil you need!
