Yeah, gets your feet out of the mud and look outside when the snow or rain is raining hammers and pitchforks. I love them old metal headliner - bench seated - vinyl floored trucks too. Engines were far easier to work on, though now parts may become an issue.
That parts issue is why I had to sadly sell off my 1989 Chevy 4x4 Suburban. Parts were becoming a problem to find (one time, the mechanic took three tries before getting the proper part). This was back in 2002, so I'm sure the problem now is even worse. Helluva truck - Cujo be be slept in the back with seats removed and felt like a home.
I'm not sure that pickup has been lifted much if at all. I believe it's a mid-'70s 'Highboy' F-250 with oversized tires. https://www.ford-trucks.com/articles/ford-highboy-definitive-guide/
That camper rig pictured would be worth packing a step ladder for. It's gorgeous and classic. Normally I'm not a fan of Alcoa 8 hole aluminum wheels on pickups but they're a perfect fit on that rig.
Good for 8 miles to the gallon
ReplyDeleteOkay. At four bucks a gallon that means it only costs me fifty cents a mile in fuel to be King of the Road. I could live with that.

That's from when Ford would build a proper truck. (Except for that Twin I Beam b.s.)
ReplyDeleteNeed a damn step ladder to get into the truck and an extended ladder to get into the camper, no thanks.
