Allright, another 6 wheeler in the club. Don't you just love these rust and dent free low mileage work trucks that were only used for work. Got a 78 f350 dump truck that only had about 70,miles, it's being resto'd into a 5th RV puller. Are you working the truck or just letting it sit, looking pretty and cruising with it. A lot of us older folks like running them on cruise nights just to show the kids what a tough truck looks like. LOL

Looks just like my fathers. his is a 74. 390 4 speed. has a radio though. 26k miles on it. used to be a grain truck and ran every year to the elevator. It sits more now and I know that wont be good for it. Had to get new rims cause the dealers wont touch split rims any more.

Hello everyone, just wanted to post a update on my F-350.
Since i first posted I have only put 290 miles on her in the last 7 months, mostly trips to hardware store on the weekend with the grandson. Boy it gets alot of attention especially in the contractor lane. She is still running smooth as silk and all i have done is change the oil. I will be having a full detail this weekend so will get some more photos and yes the build sheet is still under in between the seat springs, take care.

Hello F-150Lariat,
Did you proceed to sell your F350 truck?
If you did sell it, where did it go and did you collect the new owners contact information for future reference and (maybe) a follow-up?
If you did not sell it, what are your plans for the truck in the future? (sell? Trade?)
Can you post any additional photos of the chassis and undercarriage?
With thanks,
Pete

HIO, your deep and moving posts always get me going. Who says you can't have oily fingernails and understand the classics.
