that I want one of these?

2nd in line if this deal falls thru...gotta love those old Fords!

well...

I'm trying to get hold of a friend of mine that has one of these parked behind his house. he's been dragging cars & trucks home from his dad's old farm & getting rid of them.

I stopped by his place to look at a 1970 f100 2 wheeler he had out front for sale & I spotted this old 1960 ford behind the house.

he wasn't home so i didn't look at it but i'll stop by tonight & talk to him

I actually think the truck is probably a 2wd but I'm sure I could pick up a 70's vintage 4x4 with a nast rotted cab cheap & swap the body over.

man that would be bad ass.

these trucks are so ugly they just tug at my heart strings

heavy sheetmetal in them, i love how they have a step built into the door sill as you climb up into the truck.

Looks like my folks' plow truck, except it has a flatbed. It's an old Forest Service truck. With all four chained up that thing is pretty much unstopable. It it always starts too even when it's really cold. I don't know if all of them had these, but it has giant zipper pockets in the door panels. Did I mention it has an 8-track tape player?

If you paint it rainbow like the other one, than it's wrong.


Very wrong.

I need one of those trucks man.

I really, really do.

It'd be great for going to concerts!!




Ingwe

Is that a 60?

Never mind...I read your next post.

That is sweet. Maybe you could swap her onto ol yeller?

ingwe, what the heck is a "gaga"?

I was sort of thinking of that....

That would rock. That' be a snow plowin', firewood haulin',SOB.

Hell, it'd be cool if it was yellow and white.

i saw a yellow & white one once, it was sharp.

See! It must be a sign.

A kid I went to school with had a big ol red one. Nice truck. Had a 292 I think.

I want this.72 Chevrolet

so tough to beat the looks of a 72 chev 4x4.

my neighbor has a 3/4 GMC 4x4 I think it's a 72, that era anyways.

They're nice iron.I perfer the 69,70 grille thats all crome with Chevrolet written across it.Myself have a 1978 but always like the 69-72 trucks the best.

Oh they seem to have way better metal in them than the following generation of the chevy trucks.

It seems more often that you find a solid 67-72 GM than it is a 73-79.

But in my parts a 4x4 GM in that vintage is rare. Don't know why.

Lots of winter salt has all but killed sightings here.My 78 is on it's 3rd body.Seems like every 10 years it due.

nd; If you get that Ford and it's similar to a '61 (my first 4x4) there's one flaw built into them that everyone needs to be told...No one told me and I had to learn it the hard, embarassing way!

The four wheel drive WON'T WORK if you don't put the hubs in!!

There, I've done my duty and passed along this little tidbit that may save someone from suffering what I went through.

I'm so dumb, I put the R in stupid.

Thanks Bullet, I'll write that down.

Dave,

If you want to get jiggy, you ought to take my 1997 Cummins 12v off my hands and install it Ford. What a ride that would be! I will make you a nice deal.

if i could find a crew cab version that would be a dream come true with your engine.

i looked at the truck, it's actually a merc!!

1960 merc 2 wheel drive, truck is in incredible shape.

now i have some thinking to do...

Hell longbob, what you want for the cummins? i got a 78 crew cab chevy that it would look good in.

this is what a 1960 merc truck looks like.

wooo weee, I like it. You gonna get it aint ya?

I wouldn't have much thinking to do.... I like those Mercs. Is she Canadian?

you know it is man.

that's where those mercs came from i think.

looks like the colors I'm going to use on the '78. Good lookin' truck dave.



Busted.

well i know this one did anyways because that's what the tag says.

amazing shape, no rust, tin is nice... it's got that little 223 in it but if it stayed a 2wd & became mine it would get lowered & it would get a Z code 390FE & a toploader 4 speed I happen to have sitting around.

Those 223's are pretty decent. Still popular with the 63-66 truck dudes.

You already know...I love me some 390 w/4sp. You want a 64 too?

Couple of old Merc's bombing around town.They're pretty cool.

hmmmm...





low, long, wide... 390 & a top loader 4 speed.....

oooohhhh daddy. I dig the hot rod black too.

Yer gonna get it, ain't ya?

Got a 58 fairlane for ya too since your on a buying spree.

chit.... you guys still got that 58?

don't do that to me man...

Old man does. She's a runner too. Has a 292 in it now. He had plans for a 427 which he sold shortly after he built it, now he has plans for a 390/tri power, but has quite a few other projects to finish.

He says he's gettin old and wants some of that stuff gone.

This is the one.

pm.

we need to talk about this one...

dave love ford... mmmm ford......

Tom, that car needs to do wheelies.

I think that was the plan he had for it. No time, no money, you know how it goes with these old car guys.

I'm thinking Mid 10's would be a fun time.

Just needs the top chopped 4-6", and straight pipes

Straight pipes...heck no man, she need to breath right out the headers!

well there wont be nuthin like that in my shop now cause i blew a little pile of cash on a 65 mustang for my daughter.

She need to learn how header dumps work.

The other option is zoomies
