The blue
one "BLUE" is a 1973 F-250 with one ton running gear.
The 390 puts about 400hp before it threw the C-6 tranny. It was
my fathers when he went to DeVry in arizona, when he gave it to
me I was on my way to my first duty station in the U.S. Air force
at Travis California.
It's done
me good so far, with having over 400,000 miles on it. I have plans
for paint and new chrome soon. For now it hauls my 11 foot camper
very nicely.
Next is my
yellow 1975 F-150 super cab. It's still a half ton but it retains
the 390 V8 and 4 speed, and gets about 17 mpg. It serves nicely
as my daily driver with less than 70k on it. My daughter has free
range of the back seat.
The canopy
comes in handy for locking my tools and parts inside. It still
has the functioning AM radio in it, funny because my dad has worked
at a stereo shop for the last 23 years. I have plans to repaint
it the original color, and find one identical to it and have a
supercharged super cab.
Last is the
tragedy, a 60 foot pine fell across this 77 F-150.
It is a retired
navel truck. It has a 300 Inline-6 in it with a C-4.
It is primarily
for parts now.
