Saw 4 today... Two a block apart in Miles City Montana (both in nice shape and creamy white), and two in Billings Montana next door to each other (a red and white crew cab and an orange standard cab)

Sorry no pics, I was driving.

Where were you driving to? I was down in Dillon yesterday for a girl and saw dozens upon dozens of beautiful old trucks. I saw one gorgeous '69 250 that I needed to take home. The gal liked it also!

It's already been pretty sucky so far, but hopefully the other half of the trip will go well. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for a blue dent when I get there

Good luck with the job! Lemme know if you're coming through Missoula and we can meet up or something like that! Also, stop in Court D'Alene if you have a chance, the lack is gorgeous.

Beautiful truck.

I was just in Dillon, about 50 miles south on I-15, so you're probably passing by there

I'm in Hailey, ID only about an hour and a half west of Arco. I tell all my friends and family back on the East Coast that this part of the country is like old Ford truck paradise. I see no less than probably 10 dents a day. They're so plentiful I really couldn't pass up the opportunity to own one myself.

Seen 4 so far today. First cream colored flatbed passed me on i84 coming into Ontario OR. Second two tone green with the bed loaded with firewood for sale and third red and white in a barn both on route 20 just outside of Ontario OR. Fourth dark brown (almost black) with light tan hood and doors driving around Burns OR.

Also.... Vapor lock sucks

Edit: and one more just drove past while I was eating lunch in Burns... Really pretty metallic lime green with cab lights on top.

Buy some wooden clothespins and stick 4-5 on the metal part of the fuel line going to carb. Very good chance it will help vapor lock.
