That one was an 82, was pretty much toast. Had the lightweight frame ( lots of pretty round stamped holes) and the stamped I Beam front end. the truck was low milage, but from being light weight, it was re-bushed as far out as I could safely get it.
The funeral drum roll for that truck was when I stepped through the bed mat, and the rusted bed, and the gas tank stopped me from breaking my leg. looked like an inside out burrito with my foot in it. I knew there was no saving her.
The 86 was sitting in a Home Depot parking lot one day ( after the Ins company totaled it from the rear end smack) and some guy walked up and fell in love with it. Said it was just like a new one he had when he was young. $2,500 later he owned a new to you tan 86 f-150....

Is scrapping a good business to get into Charlie? I need to make some side money.
