Hesitantly moving along
Well, with time comes change. I bought this truck back in March of 2015 right after I bought my first house. I had owned 2 Ford pickups prior to this but had been longing for a Dentside for probably 6 years or so before finally getting this one. I had really wanted a highboy but this 79 F250 was just too good to pass up. After owning it for a little over 3 years I hesitantly decided it was time to part ways a couple weeks ago. Quickly wrapped up all my projects on it and posted it up on Craigslist on Wednesday. Drove it all week and realized how nice it is to drive when its completely put together. But, with a boat purchase and my first kid on the way, I needed more than a project truck (sneak peak below) and needed a little more room. Just wanted to thank all you guys on this forum for all the help over the past few years. As of tomorrow I'll be Dentside-less. I'll be moving on over to the Superduty forums. Thanks again.

Well that kinda stinks, at least you bought a 7.3. I reluctantly got rid of my 7.3 after 10 years of ownership. My reason for it was kinda like yours....new kid plus mine was getting rusty. If I woulda had a crew I probably wouldn't chose a different route. I however couldn't part with my 3 old trucks so I added on lol.

Or your kid(s) will regret it after the fact. My dad traded in a cherry 1959 shortbed fleetside F100 for a new ‘73 F-250 back in the day. My brother and I are still mad about that one. Oh and he sold the ‘73 5 years later. 😪

Once the dentside bug bites it's hard to go back. The 73-79 Fords are the best trucks ever built, PERIOD!
Will people be restoring a '97 or '09 F150 fifty years from now? NO! but they will be restoring a 73-79, you can count on that!
Classics are classics for a reason, no matter how much time passes the '80 and up trucks will always suck and never be collectable. AMEN!
