sought after trucks?
I'm still looking for a replacement for my Bronco II. I was wondering if there are any special or desireable trucks I'm not aware of. Sort of like how a 1965 Mustang GT compares to a regular Mustang.

Mercury trucks are fairly desirable, I have only seen a few. I hear that 1972 F100 customs are VERY rare and worth hundreds of thousands of dollars..... Ok, maybe a few hundred....

Now that is a bumper! Bet it takes out saplings no sweat.
I would say 68-72 Crewcabs and 78-79 Broncos are very desirable for trucks and would always sell for what you bought them for originally if you bought at a reasonable price.

I wouldn't know. That truck has been modified in so many ways its hard to tell whats on it. I know the alternator is a NAPA replacement, so is the starter and a horde of other parts. It also has a battery switch so you can prevent the electrical system being drained.

I don't know yet. I would like to get a newer truck with a diesel engine, so I put this one up for sale. A few people looked at it, but I knew they weren't that serious, and were going to run it into the ground. Not to mention I have found the newer trucks to be a bit on the high side, so for now I am going to keep it.

Unique Trucks?
In the 60's Ford made "uni-bodies" for a couple of years, where the bed and cab were all attached (no seperate bed). The ones with wrap around back glass nd uni-body would be collectable!
2cents!

> Why are the '78-'79 Broncos so desireable
Short wheelbase, fullsize and seats five in comfort, straight axle Dana 44 front, Ford 9 inch in back, power disc brakes front, power steering, can easily be lifted, good Duraspark system without too many emissions vacuum stuff, nice plow vehicle, with 31s pretty decent off-road.

I don't know how diserable it is but from what I have found its pretty rare. My new project is a 1979 F150 Super Cab 4x4. The main thing that got me with this truck is that it is a leaf sprung front end which made me very happy. It also came with 16" wheels that seemed kind of odd but I don't know if they were stock. The truck is basically a 3/4 ton with a 9 inch rear end and a 5x5.5 bolt pattern.
Its coming along nicely so far, new brake lines, brakes, rebuilt motor, serviced the tranny, and the lift and body work is soon to come.
What do you guys think?
