Oh man great looking truck. I wish I had as many off those 70s Fords as you do. I am looking to find a nice one for myself. Where are you finding those nice trucks. I envy you. You can never have to many off those old trucks.

You can't really tell from the pic, but it is rusted through over the rear wheel wells and one rear corner of the box. It is straight though, and the dash is in near mint condition. I hope he is right about the timing chain, if that's all that is wrong it should be a simple fix. Either way, for that price, I don't think I can go wrong. The owner drives OTR, and I'm hoping we can get together next weekend so I can bring her home.

When I told my buddies I was buying this one, their response was "at least you don't have one in that color yet!"
