ctubutis how about if I start off by posting some pics of my beater, will that make you more willing?

Heres my 1980 f-150, 351M, C6, Rust, hillbilly box rails/headache rack. What more could a guy ask for? well bigger tires but those are coming if I ever get any of the lights working....












And can you believe it was free! lol atleast I got the front bumper bolted back on.


Scott


EDIT: Before anyone asks, No none of the tires match, and Yes that is a sliding deadbolt holding the tail gate closed.

Me neither. In all honesty, I don't like it too much; if I ever paint the thing, I'm
thinking of a dark blue. I have replacement doors, fenders, hood, miscellaneous
trim and such but still want to replace the bed and I need to do something about
the rusty floor & rocker panels (cab corners - as well as lots of other places - have
been Bondo'd by a PO). From what I can see, yours actually looks pretty nice! In
my gallery, under COLOR, I listed it as: kinda bedmondo baby blue

Talking

The floats don't bother them, the dual exhaust, and 8mpg downhill with the wind behind it makes them pretty pissy. But I have yet to see a Prius towing a float!

Here's my truck, an Aussie-assembled '83 with a factory 351 Cleveland which has been rebuilt running straight LPG. The paint work is white with marbelized silver on black with gold pearl over the lot.







Since the engine pic was taken, I've turfed the aircon and fitted a custom aluminium radiator with thermo fans.
