I'm still looking, everyday. A couple weeks ago a 78 F-250, 4x4, 4 speed, straight six (300) showed up on the Lancaster craigslist at a reasonable $4200. By the time I made contact with the seller there was 5 other people that had already contacted him. Sadly i missed out on my ultimate dream truck

Thanks svolpone for your offer, unfortunately 1980 is a different body style than the (67-79) that i have been searching for. All the details of what i'm looking for are in my first post of this thread. Thanks again.

Hello Pa. Chapter members, I have been looking for a classic 1967-1979 Ford truck for over two years now. I have decided to come to a group of guys that love Ford trucks and humbly ask for any help you could provide. I admit I'm picky with pockets that are not so deep. I am looking for a truck that has the patina look but not a rust bucket since I have no welding skills. I want a stick shift so I can teach my children to use a clutch. I really want a truck that is a driver, not one that has been sitting around in a backyard somewhere. Since my funds are limited I have been looking for a truck fairly close to York Pa. so I could just drive it home. I look on Craigslist, E-bay, Search tempest, several times a day and will continue to do so. Thank you for any assistance you are able to provide me.

After looking for a classic Ford truck for over two years without success I'm burning out and have begun to search for a Triumph Bonneville motorcycle. I'm still looking for a (67-79) truck at the same time but I need to have something in the stable and I can't search forever for something that's not apparently meant for me to have. I have gotten close but always come up short. Stay tuned for my next post hopefully with pictures of...

Congrats on the awesome find! I love the blue with white Explorer stripes. The Dentsides are the essence of cool!

Thanks for the compliments BPofMD and PGH Rebel.
I waited a long time for a truck and finally settled on this 76. I have been working on removing all the added parts to make it more stock looking. A friend is coming to help me clean up all the wiring in the engine bay. We will than focus on mechanical issues, mostly oil leaks every where. Maybe we will do a compression check and do a tune up next.
