This is my orange and black '79 Bronco. I just painted the fiberglass cowl hood flat black in this pic!

This is my '78 F250 w-the orange racing stripes on it!
I really like orange and black color combos, kinda a Harley Theme!

Yea orange looks good on these dents. If I was going to paint mine a different color orange would be one I would consider.

This is a very sweet rig...

My orange highboy...Here is the thread about the redneck paintjob! https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/9...boy-build.html



My brothers wrecked 79 F150 that is undergoing a resto...




I still like Ed's big orange '75 the best though! The OP's truck is very nice too...of course orange is my favorite color, so all these trucks are sweet!

Here's mine, a 77 F150 4x4 that I bought new in 77. The paint's original and is due for a buff and polish. It's Color Code 2, "Medium Copper", which when shined up looks to me like burnt orange more than anything else.

Runmountain, nice rig. Where are you at? That looks like wenatchee. I'm down in Yamhill, Oregon.

What's the story on your rig? How many miles, engine, trans, any upgrades?

Pretty good guess! I'm in Leavenworth, about 22 miles west of Wenatchee, and about three hours from Kennewick.

My truck's a little over 147K on the original 300-six and 4-spd. Everything's pretty much stock configuration, nothing fancy, with no AC. It still has the AM "Aeronutronic" pushbutton radio!

The white-spoke wheels and slider rear window came the first year I had it. The toolbox, rail caps, etc. were added as the years went by, as was a receiver hitch. The bedliner's original Ford.

No real upgrades are needed or anticipated. I have a "to do" list of normal maintenance and wear-and-tear items. I recently replaced the windshield, carb, ignition, starter, shocks, and tires. Am looking at replacing the door and window molding, and having the seat replaced or recovered. I also have a replacement for the rubber flooring (have had it in the box for ten years) that will be done last.

The rig's a daily driver, and really takes me back when I get behind the wheel!

I've been up there a few times. Beautiful area.

If you wouldn't mind, could you get some pictures of the inside to show us? I'm interested in the seat cover. If you have it recovered, will you match the original?

Thanks!
