Alright guys, the other F-150 I posted up in July is VERY beat up, and I don't know about replacing most of the exterior parts if I bought it. It doesn't have fender rust like this one, but I don't know about the floor pans in that truck and there's no way for me to tell until after I buy it. This one MAY not be a V8, but it is 4WD judging from the front hubs.
It's another '78, and it's not smashed up like the other one. Haven't talked to the owner yet, but I plan to. I'll be getting my permit this year and I'd like to have one of these trucks up and running by then. Only things I'm worried about right now are floor pans, making sure all pistons are moving (and all motors are complete), and price. We'll see, but I think I'm gonna get one of 'em.

This thing is 3/4 mile from where we dropped off the 16.5 Craftsman. Apparently it has 36,000 miles. This thing is awesome! I honestly don't really need it, being that I already have mine (and a wagon looks better ), but man! This thing is CLEAN. I kinda want to go get it and see if I can't get 'er goin' and maybe sell it for a high price since it's probably all original. Now I've seen the Eagle wagon and the sedan in person. Still haven't seen the SX4 or the Kammback. This one is a 1980 because they didn't make sedans in '79 and they didn't produce vehicles with the ugly bumper corners after 1980. Pretty nice car!

That's super neat, 4wd. I'm sure it's actually a PITA. I'd rally the heck out of it, though.

Eh, probably not a PITA. If it has the straight six then it's probably pretty reliable. You knew I'd say that though. Then again our Eagle decided to put the driver side windshield wiper out of it's misery in the middle of a bad storm yesterday... LOL.
Judging by the low mileage and the ugly white walls and rims, I'ma say it's a grandma's car. That thing seriously needs some more aggressive tires...

Id like to have a 70s Ramcharger or Trailduster. I think that would make for a pretty fun ride. Id want to swap in a 5 speed though.

Saw this Pinto somewhere in between Asheville and Johnson City.
This old Crown Vic is in Morristown Tennessee. There's one of these '56 police car Crown Vics 2 miles from my house with 30 other classic Fords. All rusted out with busted windows and everything.

I have a buddy who has a 38 American LaFrance 500 series. Has a van body, 1 of 4 made. Too far gone to restore though, sadly. He has another that is fully restored with air ride, power steering, heat, ac, air seats, etc. Beautiful truck.

When I was younger still in school, our neighbor across the street use to drag race in a pinto. Won all the time.

Hah, I'll bet he did. The guy I was referring to who has that rusted out police crown vic has 3 pintos that are setup for drag racing/dirt track. I'll have to post some pics of 'em.

Blurry pictures, I apologize. Saw this old W900 and K100 at a parade. Sweet old trucks, the setback axles are very rare. I’m a Brockway guy though, like the 361s.
Edit: fixed now.
