<p>[QUOTE="quick dog, post: 99502, member: 4093"]This Ford pick-up is actually a '68-'67-'74-'80, etc, etc, etc, much like Johnny Cash's GM car. The rear-end is mostly 3/4-ton (F250), whereas most of the front end is 1/2-ton (F100). The 360 V-8 gets 12 mpg mountain-highway. The main leaf-springs are from a '74 Bronco. The front coils are for an F-250 (circa 1980). The new right fender, right door, and hood will be from a '67 F-250 Ranger. Finishing up the body work. The four-speed transmission is from a '74 F-250. The radiator was designed for a one-ton van. The shift lever is a modified thing from a mystery car, maybe an old Mustang. The differential is from a '72 F-250. The truck has a 1/8-inch steel plate in the bed, a Maxon lift gate, and Hellwig overload springs. Manual brakes and steering. No air-conditioning. It has been a working (field) truck for 37 years and cost $2476.00, out the door. No smog certificates required.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
