Hey if you want a ford OE part to replace that tie down on the bed let me know. I have a parts truck that has them on the bed and you can have them for free. Send me a PM with your shipping address and which tie downs you need and I will send them to you.

Hey military what a clean looking nice truck man. If it don't have the 351 what does it have?

I agree with Middle, lift up her dress and lets see what she got underneath.

Nice truck. can't beat them, they just keep going. I have had one for 32 years, mine is wimbledin white and candy apple red it is the process of being rebuilt . A frame off restoration if you like too see the progress it is on you-tube under, the build- blood and money. Well injoy the truck take care of it.

Awesome truck bud. I've been wanting to get another dent to pull my highboy to the pulls(I currently use a ch#vy). I'm going to have to fly somewhere to get one, I'm done with the rust thing. A nice rust free 2wd like yours with the big 385 series would be just the ticket. Good luck with it.
