Nice truck. Even has the poverty caps. Those years had good lines. I don't recall seeing to many crew cabs of that vintage, either.

Auto or stick?

I drove 3 hours to ridgeville Indiana to get this truck. I bought it from an 87 year old retired farmer who used to work on this truck with his wife before she passed away a year ago. They had new front fenders and doors put on along with used rust free rear doors then had it repainted the color it is now. It surprizingly did better on gas then i thought it would on the way home getting around 12-15 mpg on the highway. Not great milage by any means but not bad for as big as it is lol. I love these old ford trucks and i have 3 other ford trucks of the same vintage.

Can't complain about that mileage. I'd figure 8-10 mpg. Looks great! Nice to see old iron on the road.

I saw you yesterday on 40 in it. You had a lawn mower in the back of it. By the time I realized it was you, it was too late to honk and wave like a maniac.
