They were both 8 foot beds with 350 V8's. I always admired those 70's Fords from a distance and thought they were maybe even the better looking truck of that era? Dad's buddy had a black, lifted 76 Ford 4x4 that was really sharp. And of course Dodge had a good looking truck in the 70's as well. What do you like best? I really like my old 71 GMC K20 4WD....good patina and runs great.

Most times we get a truck or a tractor stuck, we generally mention how we could get it out if we only had a can of Pearl to pour over our heads before we put the pedal down and hollered........

I bet you had to scour the earth to find a loaded regular cab short bed like that unless you ordered it. Thanks.... Actually found it on the lot. My only requirements were GMC, black, Z-71, short box, and regular cab. Damned if I didn't find one 250 miles from home, a leftover, no less, so there were big rebates to be had as well. Made a tentative trade over the phone after sending them a bunch of pics, and they upped the offer by $500 after seeing it in person, plus I took the topper off and got another 5 bills for that on Craigslist. They didn't care, as they weren't giving me anything for it anyway. Just rolled over 17K on it, most all from hunting out west......

I had a '78 Courier modified into a 4X4 by Dave Cory Ford in Chicago (at the time).. Loved that truck. The other was my '77 F-250 4X4 with the 400 engine - just dumped off the crap 2bbl carb that Ford used, put an Edelbrock intake on it topped with a small Holley 4bbl - then changed the exhaust to headers and side pipes... MPG went from 8 (factory) to 13+ after the mods and it had seemingly double the power.. Ex- USN (SS) '66-'69 Pro-Constitution. LET'S GO BRANDON!!!

They should have come out with a Chuck Norris edition..... A friend of mine had one of those little red express trucks - or something close to it, I want to say his was black. We were dukes of hazarding it up one day in it, rolled and totaled the thing out. Last edited by KFWA; 10/28/19. have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues, can you bend them guitar strings
