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.

Hehehe.... Looky here....
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!

Is that car version a 4wd too? I didn't know they made those. Never saw one.

Yes it is. They made the wagon, the sedan, the coupe, the hatchback, and then a super hatchback. And they're all 4WD. Pretty awesome!

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.

I want to say that they weren’t trying to win as much as trying not to get rear ended. Sorry, I just couldn’t help myself.
Anyway, must have been one fast hatch.

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.

Saw this truck recently. 1971 K361 TT (unless the frame was shortened) Brockway, with the 8v71 (318 horse 2 stroke supercharged diesel, made by GM), 13 speed road ranger, air ride seats, and leaf spring rears. Beautiful truck, restored inside and out. I like the color!

Surprised myself when I realized I never posted any pictures of Ray Shook Garage. It's junkyard that's been around since the 80s. There are cars that were junked in the 80s and parked on the lot and are still there. They are probably a mile or more back into the yard. There's easily 100 acres of nothing but cars sitting around. Here's some of what's in the front of the lot as of 6 years ago.
Expect to see this car on our property. My brother plans on buying it. Not sure what year but obviously it's an AMC Gremlin with the same 258ci our Eagle has. First Gremlin I ever saw. The first time I saw it I was 10 and I freaked out lol.
