Here are a couple pics of my old 77 I sold to my B.I.L and my new truck. Build date of the 77 is Feb. 18th 1977. My truck build date was Sept. 15th 2017 if I remember correctly. Affectionately they are named Blue and Blue 2.0 Of course my youngest daughter had to be in pic too. She loves her trucks.

 

Nice trucks.

What does this post have to do with 6.2L engines ?????

 

My new one is a 6.2l. Hahaha. Guess I should have put it in the 2017 folder.

 

Looks like the 77 would eat the 2017 for lunch. The good old days when pickup trucks were just that a truck.

 

Yeah like most I would love to have the 77 body style with comfort of new trucks. The 2017 is pretty spartan the way I ordered it. Just base xlt with carpet delete, 4.30 gearsw/ locker. Manual shift 4x4. About as basic as it gets. Which I like.

 

I just ordered a 2019 configured the same way as your 2017 but a regular cab and white basic truck as a second family vehicle

 

What engine do you have in the '77?

 

Originally equipped with a 400. The original owner blew that up then they took a 351m bored it .030 over and put in a cam and mild head work with stock heads and put all 400 internals in so still a 400 just warmed over a bit. Runs pretty good. It has 600cfm 4bbl and performer intake. 4.10 gears and Detroit locker out back.

 

I second that. Those oldies look timeless but everything underneath is so archaic. The new trucks look hideous but the comforts and safety are impossible not to fall in love with. I can only hope Ford finds a better design direction soon.
