Barn Find, or, Farm Find, Anyway
Farm Truck, life long Texas truck, got it from the 2nd owner who has had it since 1975. $900 and it runs. Factory air, ps, pb, 302, C4, Explorer package. Really straight grille and front bumper for a farm truck. I couldn't let it slide for that price.

How come the door isn't faded out like the rest of it? I'd say it was replaced but it looks like the back of the cab is the same color.

Oh dude those black wheels have got to go first thing. They are *Dodge* wheels. Not on my Ford! I've got Ford wheels in my shop, I will have those damn off-brand wheels off before the weekend is thru. :-)
I will leave it like it is for a while, the "patina" is kind of cool. Eventually I plan to take it back to the original brown.

Now that's more like it! Ford wheels make this thing look great. I was surprised that a stock F100 could swallow up 32" tires on 8" wheels, but no rubbing at all and they give it a great stance:

Great find! And it runs too-wow- and it's a real bonus to have the factory options. Glad you got those Fiat rims off.(my son-in-law has a dodge trk-I know- I live in shame- I give him grief all the time. He didn't know that Fiat owns them. But I make sure to remind him often.LOL)
