Our beautiful Trucks

Hello guys
My name is Eric and my Gf is Bree,
we always wanted one of those beautiful Ford trucks,
opportunity presented itself, we ended up buying two,
1970 F100
and 1969 F250,

both trucks are Southern California trucks, zero rust, but lots of sun burn beautiful patina.

red truck runs excellent,3 speed manual.
green truck needs automatic transmission work

we are looking forward to working on those trucks, learning and putting them back on the road,

Did the F250 come with the optional front disk brakes?

I think you can use any factory 3/4 ton ford wheel up to 1997. I think the pattern is 8 x 6.5 but that’s talking off the cuff. A quick Google could confirm.

Unfortunately, the California sun is brutal to paint jobs, but easy on metal rot, really like the tu tone paint and original '70 plates. Does the F 250 have the original 390 engine under the hood?
