Shame your dent has to set out in the snow. I feel they all have earned themselves a dry garage to set in out of the weather. Here in Pa we only got a skinch or two of snow so far!

I know I am ready for sping!!

I worked at Ford dealers from 1962 thru 1997, and Ford did make them, they were far more prevelant in the 1960's.

One of our SoCal Chapter members has a 1966, it was originally a first call firetruck, and/or used by a small town or an airport.

This truck was originally blue,sky or baby blue.The PO mentioned there was a fleet ordererd all the same color.Back in the late '70's when the Mica Dam was built,these truck's were used as company truck's.
