This is my 78 F350 custom cab 400, 4spd, dually with an 8' x 12' box and hydraulic lift. A truly rust free truck that was parked come November and brought back into action in the end of April and not driven in the rain. Site Managers loved seeing it on site and I've been asked numerous times to park it on the street so that every one could see it. Sales reps liked it too as it's rust and dent free and didn't leak anything, it put the new home buyers at ease, seeing a mint condition old truck and thinking it's owner built their house.





Still have the truck, it's on an 89 F350 dually frame and is being converted to an 5th wheel RV puller. It was Calgaried December 2012,

It shares DD duties with the rest of the vehicles ... I try to drive it at least once every couple weeks at minimum ...... and it's usually used when there's a load .... or snow ..... involved.

I live in a no salt state and plenty of non ethanol gas around so I will drive mine weekly (62, 69 & 74) when they are all roadworthy. Tomorrow going to look at an '83 with a 300 6 and if I buy, it will share equal duties. Nothing like having non-computerized transportatoion and no payments on them.
