Theres a dent in the good and a couple dents in the cab, bed and tailgate too. Small, but noticeable. Maybe after I fix the mustang I will get it fixed and painted. This is pretty fancy for me, ive had a 95 wrangler for the last 6 years!

Finally found a bunch of old pics of trucks I used to own, heres some:
90 F150 302 4x4 aod. Beat the snot out of this truck, and loved every minute of it. ended up pretty much dead by the end
This is what it looked like when i got it
At its best
And when i finally got rid of it. Slid into a 4x4 steel post sign turning into a parking lot. I was only doin about 5mph, but on glare ice it was still too fast
Heres my 87 F250 6.9L diesel C6 4:10 gears. Extra leaves in the rear off a semi tractor. Really liked the truck, had tons of power, but had a weak starter and rotten battery cables. would not start w/o at least one fleet jump starter hooked up, and 2 good batteries. Kid i sold it to had it a week and rolled it off road. What an R-tard
My POS bronco II. Picked this up for 400 bucks while I replaced the engine in my 250, back when it was still my DD. Had tons of problems, broken main leaf spring, rusted out doors, rusted through valve covers, and the worse, flywheel w/ broken teeth. If it stopped in certain positions, the starter would only spin. I would have to crawl underneath and turn the engine over by hand until fresh teeth could catch. Lucky for me that tiny 2.9 could be turned just by grabbing the crank pully
Did have a nice interior though
95 F150 4x4 I6 5 speed, almost 200k when i got rid of it. Really liked this truck, sometimes wish i had never sold it

Ah well I put a new engine in when she threw a rod but she needed every steering part replaced, the rear end regeared (PO had put 325s in the back and left the 355s in the front????) so 4x4 was useless, it was full of bondo and rust ... i was sad to see it go but a little relieved too.

was that thing solid yellow or tu-tone? i've been looking hard for someone who has a 77 f150 with the same exact paint scheme as mine and i can't. i've found a few that were close, but nothing right.

it was solid. it had been repainted sometime in its life, but the original color was a solid lighter shade of yellow. I've seen a few late 70s vintage Fords in that yellow but I have not seen one like yours either.
