Saw this one today at the IGA in Hardinsburg, KY. It is a F100 4X4. Looks to be a '77 and it had fender-well exit headers.

Well I thought I'd never break my record of 10 dents in one day.
I took a trip to Atlanta today and I'll be damned, I saw 14!

I'll start with the three that passed me going in the opposite direction.

One was a 79 Black and White two tone.
One was a 79 Blue and White two tone
The other was a 78 solid green one.
I got pics of the other 11.

I saw this one when I got off the interstate. Check out the unique grill and tailgate.



Saw this one at a store I stopped at.



I was stopping to stretch my legs. I was gonna stop at the store on my left but at the last minute I decided to pull in the one on my right. What do I see? Two more!



Saw these three at a wrecker service...It was a sad sight.



Saw this one at a random house. I turned in real quick and acted like I was turning around.


I saw this one so I stopped to take a pic. There was a guy standing outside. I asked him if I could take a pic, he stumbled to my truck and he mumbled something and said 'yhou likin my tuck riight der?'
(not a typo he was drunk as hell!) haha. Put it this way, he couldn't even remember what motor or year his truck was!


This one at another random house.


And lastly when I got to where I was going to get my 'like new' 2 inch lift coil springs I scored on Craigslist for 75 bucks. The guy had a 79 F150 explorer he was restoring with a hopped up 460.

Here's one I spotted way back in the woods in Northern California as I was shooting the Ponderosa Fire. This home has been evacuated and thanks to the efforts of our elite California Firefighters and the weather this home (And this fine 77) has been saved.



And just because I never get to be on camera (That's a good thing) at least the back of my head made the Nightly News Promo. I just had to post.

Nah! just a pimp air box. Can't turn it straight because of the oversize electronic ignition dizzy.

I noticed he still has the 1G alt and mechanical fan.
