Looks like a nice find Duane. I'm guessing from the grille it is either a 74,75,or 76. What are your plans for it? I had two of those years ago. Both were F-350 with wrecker bodies on the back. Mine had 360s as well. Great work horses.

I'm planning to do a "quick restoration" on it... pull the engine and check it, check the transmission, get the dents out, a quick but descent paint job, go through the interior and make it look descent, but not so god that I am scared to use it either. Probably about $2500 invested in it.

Ohhh...SWEET, Duane! Congratulations!

Here are some more pictures. I powerwashed it off on Sunday afternoon and cleaned out the interior and bed.

The interior is really simple. With it being so flat you could make some nice vinyl wrapped panel's and dress it up nice. You could also wrap that whole metal dash add a little carpet or maybe a little rhino liner on the floor and it will be great. Nice truck Duane Cant wait to see it done.

You're going to have to wait awhile. I'm not planning to really mess wtih this thing for some time. I'm going to slowly start working on it as the summer and fall go by. I'm not going to do this as nicely as I did the Torino either... just a decent paint job, decent interior, and lets roll. Oh yeah, the engine... build that engine....

I thought this was a quick flip and sell project
