I DD a 79 f150 4x4 A/T mildly built 400m on 35's. comfortable to drive but definantly isnt made to cruize at 75. does good at 65 though. Only thing that sucks is gas mileage (about 6mpg) but i still love it.

I just picked up a '76 F250 4x4 w/ a 390 4-Speed as my daily driver... made the 1500 km trek home with no issues, other than the oil pressure dropping off if I went over 60 km/h... so I wrapped a ShamWow around the sending unit which made it all good (its pretty cold where I'm at) .... got about 10 mpg.. what a great truck this is!

When the Zombies come, we shoud have our club called the "Dentside survivors" we'll be killin the heck out of some zombies. I'd hope they'd wait a little bit too lol i still got a bit of work to do to my Dentside. I want to put a 2" leveling kit with 33" tires, winch bumper with brush guard, a new winch, roll bars, and all that. but first gotta get my body and interior work done

My 76 is a daily driver. Still getting more stuff done but Rocky basically goes on any trips less than 1.5 hours out of town.

i'm having a hellova time getting a fair trade. folks around here seem to think that their trucks are worth their weight in gold with a full bed lol. there is a 76 f250 with a 460 for trade but i'm trying to stick under ~400 cid.
