Best birthday present ever!
Today (6/17) is my birthday, and My wife bought me a truck. I have been eyeballing this truck for a long time now, and she surprised me with it.
It's a 1976 F250 Highboy 4X4 with a 390, NP435, NP205, Rear D60 and front D44. It's not exactly in showroom condition, but it's very workable (for a grand). It has a HD rear bumper, front tow hooks, a gooseneck hitch, in-bed fuel tank, and it runs like a champ!

Unfortunatly, that is the only problem. I am only 98% sure it's a 390, as it's not the original engine. It has 1965 casting numbers on the block, but I would hope that no one would put a 352 in a truck this big. It runs great, and has a ton of power. And before anyone gets too excited, the body is, by no means, perfect. The floorboards need replacing, and the rest of the truck needs minor repair. I am very satisfied, and I do think it was a GREAT deal.

No, it sure wasn't. I don't think they ever had it listed.
I gotta get it safety inspected and before I do that, I have to rig up a horn. PITA. Then, let the fun begin!

Congratulations on your new truck! Replacing floor pans won't be all that difficult and from what we see in the photo you (your wife!) got a killer deal!
Is she going to let you put it in your own name?
Have fun!
