Had a 79 F350 4wd single cab with the 400/4spd and the same color, once upon a time. Never got any good pics though, but I’ll see what I can find.

Forgot about this pic. This was on Senior Ditch Day, shortly before the engine threw a few rods.

2nd was a 78 Custom Supercab with 400 and 4 speed. ****er was a Powerhouse. Was a Logging site truck had quarter inch of bar oil in bed and backseat so no rust and family plow truck in the fam compound 400 4spd never used low to plow. Paid $1,000. One of my favorites could'nt kill it.

I've had 5 or 6

3 for me. One 2wd 78 w/ 300 6.
Then I had this 77. Total POS (at least to my 18 yr old self). Got sick of working on it all the time and got rid of it. Still holds a special place with me for being such a black sheep.

I used to have dreams of that truck trying to return to the Earth in front of my eyes, and I would be stressed out trying to figure out how I was going to fix it

Need to check Marti report, from what I remember this 79 was only 150 painted “coral” that year.

I’m not seeing the coral but it’s original.

Love all those old fords posted!! Had 78 F250 I called the beast, it was POS also.

That truck is sooooo sweet, Jon!
Used to be a time when you saw dent-side Fords everyday. Now you hardly ever see them at all.

Rush, agree this checked every box for me when I saw it. Love at first sight!!
I was going to buy it even if it meant my wife wouldn’t talk to me for a few years.

She actually loves it, when it cools off we will start taking it to town.

I sure do dig Bobs, hopefully he stores it in my shop this winter!!!

My $228 ‘94 F250. 460 and 5 spd. Net initial cost after selling the grille guard and retrieving $22 in loose change left by the 17-year-old buckle bunny forced to drive it in order to learn to use a clutch. Previously her relative’s rodeo truck. Bought it for the tires. Supposedly had a cracked block, repaired by replacing the timing cover gasket. Now into it about $2500 after replacing the destroyed clutch assembly, starter, radiator, exhaust, rear brakes…the list goes on…and removing about a foot of rotted hay and moldy bags of horse feed from the bed. Sold the intended tire recipient, an ex-govt F350 crew cab, and loving everything about the 250 except for the gas mileage. Incredibly rust free and pretty straight. Needs paint. Helluva elk hunting rig.

Had a 97 supercab 4x4 with powerstroke 22 miles to the gallon, diesel was 83 cents a gallon. Traded it 2 years later for 22gs (paid 24) towards a brand new 99 F350 crewcab dually 4x4 with powerstroke . Also had 78 with 460 and c6 Stump puller, snapped the d/s center pin on leaf spring after flogging it in woods still drove it home .

I took my driver's license test in a '76 Ford F150 Ranger XLT long wheel base. Had to parallel park that puppy between two parked cars.

Feel your pain, having had to nurse that long bed crew cab ex-GSA F350 around town for about 10 years.

You’ll never forget her. You try, but it doesn’t work. As my brother used to advise, “She’s probably fat now.”
