Good By Old Friend

I bought the truck new and now have sent it to the salvage yard. It was a sad day. Removed the 9” posi rear and called for the hook. Thought I would give it a good sendoff by lining up its predecessors for its last mug shot.

A few years ago I got rid of my 74 F-250 2WD. Sometimes I wish I had kept it and "hot rodded" it, but it didn't make sense. PS a lot of Jeep guys like that front axle.

They last don't they?

It was a great truck. Tried to find someone who would rebuild it but no luck and I just do not have time. Shame, it was one of the last 79’s built. Ordered it in late July of 79 while I was working at Ford and was told it probably would not be built as they were getting ready to retool for the change in body style. It showed up a few weeks later. Stopped driving it when I got my current job which supplies me with a company truck.

I hate living where I do. I see all those cool trucks/cars going to rot and I would love to do something with them
