If only...

So I've been driving past this truck at least once a week for work since April of last year...


I don't know about you guys but everytime I look at it I see nothing but potential.

If only I had the money and space to restore her...

Hello

I would like to have one in that style also. Convert it to EFI and away you go.

They don't make 'em like the used to... I love those older trucks...

That one looks like a '79 shortbed to me...

Got a '79 F-150 Custom 4x4 with 62k original miles sitting in the garage here...

they sure dont make em like they used to. too bad FOMOCO dont make a retro f150 like they did with the stang. now that would be sweet!

That would be a great little truck. It would be really cool to restore a truck like that back to its original stock condition. I'd get rid of those crazy paint designs though.

I gotta say that that generation is one of the best looking Ford trucks of all time (right behind the 53 F00 in my book!)

i dont know id maybe keep it that way more unique that way.

I agree, I kinda like the paint.


I have a soft spot for vehicles like this. It's fairly customized, somebody put all that work into it and it was their pride and joy at one point and now it's a rusty junker. It would be so cool to restore it and give it a good home again.


I sound a bit like a crazy cat lady, don't I?

+1, but i'm partial to 53's.

Because they haven't figured out how to improve on the old design any... I mean, it's hard to argue with perfection....

that one, or one of the first years of the 80s. If only...

Definitely plan on getting one some day in the distant future. Preferably with a 390 in it but would also go with a 460. Lift it and call it good.
