Heres a super rare dent....pics on the way.
Custom order 1973 super camper special with factory tow package F-350 EXTENDED WHEELBASE with side-load spare tire carrier.
360 with 4 core radiator, dual batteries, trans and PS coolers. Dana 70 rear.
That extended wheelbase makes for a funky looking bed. Good luck finding parts for that.
Rare, but .....two wheel drive. Lemme get some pics up of this.

Seen this clean 79' this morning doing some errands around town. I was hoping to get to talk to the driver, but they turned off again. Can't say I didn't work for that picture. I could barley get it in my side mirror.

HATE this thread
I swear I cringe every time I get another mail from this thread....every damn dent in the world looks better than the ol' black primer special. Geez, guys, do any of you ever get rust, dings, or bad paint? Freakin' thread is like watching a Hollywood movie...everyone is rich, cosmetically perfect, attractive, and drives an immaculate dentside!

You haven't seen my boy Ka'Bluey have you
There are some really nice looking old iron driving around. But there are more that aren't so nice.
Here's my Ka'Bluey, but I love him just the same

Ironically she looked better before I started
(from 10' or more) but on closer inspection issues abounded the original bed was garbage ( luckily I can pull the few patch panels I need for the new one from it) core support rotted out inner fender rotted out ect ect and in a twist of irony my rubber cab mounts look great former owner said they never did them so
projects always look worse before they look better and a ramen noodle budget doesn't expedite the process at all.
