A real gem...
Spotted this '78 F-150 locally on Craigslist today. All the info seems legit, and I've seen this truck in person.
CLASSIC 1978 FORD F-150 PICKUP TRUCK
When I was in elementary school, we had three 5th grade classes. This truck belongs to one of those teachers. I was only 11 (circa 2001) at the time, but I remember seeing it in the lot at school and thinking "my '77 can look like that one day". I know Mr. Bedell bought it new, and my teacher Mr. Desantis vouched for the no rain claim.

Didn't know about the 8-track deal. Maybe its a period aftermarket or dealer installed item. Don't know how popular 8 tracks were in '78, way before my time. My dad swapped a cassette player into my '77 sometime in the '80s. I know $14,500 sounds rediculous, considering the truck was probably around half that new. I know the original sticker on ny '77 F-250 was roughly $8000. I'd probably be willing to give $10 or $11k for this truck If I had the money. The big selling factor here is the fact it's probably the only dent left in western PA with all its original sheetmetal. Mine's got a '79 front clip , Bronco doors, and a bed from down south somewhere.
And I'm in Elizabeth, the truck is in BV. I know Irwin kinda well, and by the looks of you avatar, you own that awesome blue '79 I saw at the Norwin shopping center.
