That guy gets around! I took his picture in Lumberton, Texas back in August 2020! He still has the same green kayak on the back... but has repainted the bachelor pad!

Looks like he's adding a new room on now... and updating the electric!

Great looking body style, silly trend in my opinion.
Unless it has some sort of performance advantage that I’m not aware of.
Agreed. I can’t even get myself to do LED headlights. Hopefully someday somebody can design some that look vintage.

It would be interesting to see how many other FTE members spot this guy along his journey. He would certainly be easy to spot. We might have to make a thread and dedicate it to just this guy's truck and where it was seen!

The good thing is, with a little work, a dent can be saved after getting water logged. Not like new stuff today.

Yea if it happened to me as long as the engine didn't suck in water the only real issue I would have is the seat foam being soaked with water. (I have no carpet).

Now if that was salt water.....
the electrical corrosion issues will soon after become a big problem

Saw this 79 F350 in a parking lot next to the hotel I'm staying in on Torrance Blvd in Torrance, California. It features a built-in automatic ventilation system.

If any of you are familiar with Vice Grip Garage on YouTube, Derek might describe this as weight reduction to improve gas mileage.

Soon be time to cut it back, build a cage, & use a tarp on the cold or rainy days.
