Its runs great but the box is had.
The interior needs some work.
Lots of little things loose and leaking.
But it sits up good and square so i guess its my new money pit.

Nope not a gas can it showed up on a deck truck.
Runs good.
No specs yet .
Its got a couple of things on it I find strange for it just being a Custom.
Its got the blue 4x4 light under the dash (not working ) and it has the locking hood.

The tag on the door matches the one on the door frame which matches the number on the registration............so so far so good.
(a little late to be checking numbers)
Serial # F26SPFA7168
Can anyone tell me anything from that?

UTfball also made a comment about the "gas can", I didnt even see it until I lightened the picture.

So i got looking closer when you also mentioned a gas can.
The guy I traded took the picture , so Im not sure what he was up to with the gas can?

Good solid Truck, looks as if you found a good work horse.
Saw; one 78 F250 today in my town, in excellent shape with some big deep dog dish type OEM hubcaps on it, was unable to chase him down due to going to a appointment; but will try and find him later.
