i know the truck cab is a beast, but the cab is really nice every where else, it seems Canadian salty boats and roads killed the floor, and this cab is actually in really great shape then the average trucks of this period up here, i hate rust, luckily the box came from texas 10 years ago so its in really good shape rust wise, and the tailgate i just got was never put on a truck, it was only used a hand full of times, due to the owner having a camper in the back that trucks whole life! and ya can't beat 150 bucks for a rust free dent free vintage like new ford tailgate complete with all the trim! with no marks on it!!

those chrome window vents stop rain from getting in if you have the window cracked, i have them for my truck and i think they look good and are practical, but if you don't like them i guess you don't like them

Worst exterior rust I had.
I didn't take pics of the bed, though...it was held on with angle iron welded on all four sides and a pair of latches to keep the tailgate shut.
Hell, even the dashboard shook in different directions than the body did! I drove it 400 miles once. The only things that worked on that rust bucket was the engine, trans, and the axles. NOTHING else.

It's long gone. Kinda sad I had to. There was more rust than a '78 F250 Lariat 4x4 in Midnight Blue Metallic.
I have a few more in my gallery, I think.
