The bidding might go crazy for this blast from the past.

OK Bozos, stop clowning around.

I learned standard on (I think) a '75.
Many happy memories.

My Dad had me practice slipping the clutch on a uphill dirt road.

We also had a '72 Fury III.

Sharp truck. I would like a bronco of the same year.

What are his plans for it?

 

[lOOKnGO]

Get it ready to be his first vehicle Bob. It came with all kinds of metal replacement/ patch panels. It has a new wiring harness all ready. He has done 100% of the labor so far. 351m for an engine w/ auto. He got this on his own accord.

I had a 78 short bed with the 351, 4 speed. I spent a small fortune modding that thing.

That is cool that he is doing the work himself. And that he took care 100% to find a vehicle, buy it, and now fix it up for the road. How old is he?

Still have my 79’ Ranger F100 with a 302.
I’m thinking about bringing it back to be road worthy.

He's 14. He pays attention to older stories about the old 70's Ford trucks. His great grandfather had a 74 hiboy that was saught after by the family. My first vehicle was a 79 f250 4x4 and most of my cousin had 77-79. Many stories and pics.

Best part for me is he has cleaned and organized the main shop area to work on the truck through the winter. He's none stop working in there.
