Welcome, is that a daily driver or just a weekend fun truck?

It's going to be a daily driver while I restore my 1985 Mustang GT and then a winter driver, duck hunting, race car hauler, going to Home Depot truck. Paint and body are next. After I get it so it is not a 5000lb rock in my driveway I'll post up some more pics.

Another Wisconsinite checking in here, welcome to the site. I'm over by Arlington. It's good to see more dents being appreciated up here. Good luck with your rig.

I'm in a one horse town called Markesan, about 25 minutes from FDL. Not too many of these trucks left around here due to the winter salt. I love the stance of your truck, is it a 4 inch lift? I'm restoring my 76 F350..................and it will probably never see snow again!

This is getting funny. I drive through all of these towns on a monthly basis. I drive truck for Big Gain during the day. It's a large feed mill that services every corner of the state and most of illinois and minnesota. We need to get a Wisconsin chapter meeting this year. Maybe at the jefferson or iola swap meet. We could meet on a saturday afternoon, have some pops, and admire some fine rust belt dents!

I'm in the Madison area, little town called Cross Plains. I'll likely be at the Jefferson swap meet this year, looking for parts.

Holy Crap! I didn't realize there were so many guys from Wisconsin on here! I just did a basement job near Cross Plains and I've got relatives near there. Small world I guess!

Nice Truck!
Were in Wisconsin are ya?
I see, Like my truck, your truck only has 1 windshield wiper.
And the cab roof running lights, which were an option on all '73-'79 F-100/F-350s.
