I believe the truck in walking tall was an F-250....it was really hard to tell. I was looking for 8 lug axles but I've only seen the movie once and couldn't figure it out.
Take a look at my truck, it's an F-150 lifted 6" with 35" tires (gallery).
If you wish to learn how to lift it, the suspension forum has 100s of threads on it...just do a search for "lift kit". Don't make a post "how do I lift my F-150" because they will beat you....jus kiddin'....welcome to the forums!
PS...get 4wd, you'll want it if you get a 2wd...trust me (again, look at my gallery..had a 2wd...now look at my new truck
)

Welcome! I haven't seen the movie yet either but, can I recomend a truck for you. Get yourself a 70's f150 ( 78-9 are VERY ABUNDANT!) I've routinely seen them for around $1000. They are heavy and great for plowing, & many came with traclok in the rear. Best part... easy to work on, find parts for and afford. BONUS: they tend to sit high right outta the box!
PS check out my 77 in my gallery.
