Well I finally remembered to take some pics while I was out on a parts run to one of the local yards. I could have dozens from one yard, but the owners prefer to not disclose what they have. This yard doesn't care, so I took some today!

The owner is always moving more stuff around, and sometimes trucks are uncovered that nobody knew were there. This poor old F250 looks to be '82-86 (I couldn't get close enough to see, too many thorns) but it still has farm plates and the frame was torched behind the cab. Likely got made into a trailer.



This truck has been an awesome parts truck for me. The cab isn't terrible, but it's sporting an '87-'96 box. Pretty common here in the rust belt. It's an '84 Custom, 4.9 2wd with a 4 speed. The front fenders are mint originals, he only wants $20 bucks a piece so I think I'll go get them sometime when I have some spare time.



This one appears to be a custom build. It's an '86 F250 DRW 4x4. I know they didn't make an F250 with duallies so either it was an add-on or an F350 DRW converted to 4x4. Former 6.9 with a 4 speed. Hydroboost is still there. Sorry for the bad pics, it's under a Monte Carlo and everything around it is piled too. I was under a car when I took the pic











And for good measure, here's an old Louisville. Not a 7th gen, but still cool as hell. I think it's a 477 in it.

 

Thx for the pics Brad

 

Sitting outside a tire store I go by in the morning.


Cleaning up a lot by a used car dealer.

 

What I don't get it how everybody's original chrome front bumpers still look great, even the ones in the junk yards. Except mine took a turn down hell's half acre. Mine must be a replacement.

 

That is so beautiful.

 

Early to mid 70s I think. Not in bad shape either, shame really. It'd be a cool resto with a screamin' Detroit in er.

 

A guy who works at the gas station across the street owns this one, he has a matching topper for it too.

I pulled a bunch of parts off this 86 bronco for mine, I almost bought it before I got mine, but the floor was way too rusty. The owner restored it in the 90s, but kept driving it, and it rusted again. I think he scrapped it a month or two ago.





I also just looked through this whole thread. There are very few crew cabs. If anyone's got pictures, post em up!

 

Wish I could see the truck to get a picture, rumour is it's still around but it's an '85 F350 Crew Cab DUALLY with a 6.9 and it was converted to 4x4. Biggest tank to rule the roads around here. Belonged to a cash cropper around the area and from what I understand it was pulled off the road last year and left behind the barn in need of some love. I'll be investigating, will keep you guys posted!

 

Another resto??? Your going to need a tow truck. lol

 

I never thought of doing a tow truck next haha. My parents and I just bought a former Shell service station for more shop space. Might as well start some more projects! Helping to save the world, one bullnose at a time

 

Post it up if you get the CC.

 

I moved 600 miles south out of the salt belt and all of a sudden I started seeing a lot of well-preserved bullnoses. Here's a pretty decent F-150 Explorer, I think it is a 1982.

 

Spotted this 80-81 F350 4x4 in town today. It was in pretty decent shape. No real dents or dings in the body. Had an 82-86 grille that needed replaced though.

 

Here's two of mine I figured I'd post here, I'll have the trio together once the snow melts. '86 Flareside on the left and '85 Bronco.

 

Brad, Did you ever find that 4x4 crew cab dually?
