79 F150 "Custom" 4x4 351 Cleveland (said the PO) with a 4 spd. Been repainted and has the wood grain glove box cover, chrom strip around it and black/chrome wood grain door panels.
Truck runs good (edelbrock intake and 4 bbl) just alot of smoke when idleing, outa the valve cover holes and that leak from the oil pan, only when being driven?
Am really thinking about putting that flat bed on my 77 F250, I got 2 extra beds I could put back on it?

Oops, its a long bed, reg cab. Why ya interested in it, if not, I got that 78 F150 4x4 on the MO chapter classifieds. Not as slick but a great base to start with for a restro.
I think Jersey is a LONG way from MO, but we can work it out, let me know.

Evening all!
I had to work today so didn't get a chance to get online until this evening. Nice flatbed! I hope that its issues will be simple to resolve after all you went through to get it home.
I probably will pony up for a set eventually - I just don't like it too much.
I hope the cold that is running amok here has missed y'all. I caught it over the weekend and now I'm miserable.
Catch ya later.
