That is one sweet old truck. Reminds me of this Bigfoot poster we used to have on the wall when I was growing up. Before he had the flotation tires on it and it was just a big 4x4. My dad had a 79 bronco. It wasn't lifted and only had 33s on it (every brand made during its lifetime). That truck went everywhere for being totally stock and dad used to let me drive it down back roads and on our friend's farm. Fast forward to my college years and I see this blue 78 150 short bed for sale...at the time was driving a t bird. The rest as they say, is history. I had a friend with an IH scout and we used to see who could go more places. I always had him in the mud, he had me on the tight trails.
