umodelnut Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 here she is, 78' Ford F250 custom. its a 4 speed and really fun to drive, i used to haul sand for my papa with it, id back into the sand pit hed load me up and id go drive out to where he wanted it and dump it, hed be in the passenger seat though. its kinda rough, its hit about ten trees, rusted out(nothing a little bondo cant fix though). when my papa had his case backhoe it had no brakes so it hit the sideboards quite a bit. now hes got a little ford compact tractor. the thing i like about this truck is that it was built pretty much right next door to my U model!!! My U model was built in Oakville Ontario and the ol' ford was too. prolly this week well try to get her started. right now its got a load of scrap in it thats going to the scrapers(the trucks not though) theres also a pile of scrap behind it too. this pic was taken when we had snow about a month ago.

Freightrain Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Looks to be a F350, as 250's never came with tandems. 1978 came with round lights, with square optional. In 79 they made them all square headlight.Good ol trucks. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
