Never cared much for that color scheme, but I can't stop starring at that thing. Some one put some work into that one. I'm guessing its a resto because the body trim has been removed.

Maybe some day I'll have one that looks that nice.....though not likely.

Don't get me wrong, if I had the chance to buy a truck in that condition I would jump before thinking no matter what the color! I'm not one to judge a truck by its color (much)

LOL. in 1980 after ford had dropped the 460 motor, The only 79 I could find left over with a 460 was a pea green color. That was by far the ugliest rig I have ever owned and I bought it new. lol

It was repainted about 6 years ago by the previous owner. They did a pretty good job partially dismantling it and getting everywhere. There is some cracking along a couple body seams and a few chips here and there. Much better paint job than my old Camaro got.

I haven't noticed too much sag in the front end. As far as I know everything is completely stock on this truck.

The color isn't exactly my first choice but I couldn't pass up buying my dream truck (old f250 diesel) when it came available. Especially in this shape.

Brown is not my first choice, but I would not have passed it up either ...

Question about the cracking ... Is it cracking where the B pillar meets the roof/drip edge at the top rear corner of the doors.

-Enjoy
