Don't see this too often (again)

Driving around my hometown of San Carlos I spotted this fine 1973 F250 Supercab parked in a parking lot. I didn't have a lot of room to squeeze off a good photo and I was in a hurry myself so here it is!

You don't see one truck enough times nicely restored but two side by side is rather rare.

I talked to the owner for a few minutes and swapped some fix stories.

Looks like that one that was stolen a few months ago.

I'll have to search for the post...

Possibly and I bet you're right, but I thought it was painted blue though

I don't know if you guys (And Gals) remember this one. This photo was shot about a mile from the Crew Cab shot in another parking lot. If I keep this up people may think I'm sort of weird stalker.
