Geez! I didn't know you were a Ford guy... I was just starting to like you too. :jester:
 
That body style is my favorite! I had a 79 F250 with a steel flat bed on it for years. I could never find a decent bed for it. I had built 400M in it as well. Had the Dana 60 in the rear and dana 44 up front. The rear had detroit and the front a select-able ox locker.

That is a very clean looking truck there. :rock:

If I had your pickup, I'd have no need for the 'Stang. I love the dent side Fords:heart: I would have to tow a trailer if I was to move any wood with that truck, too nice to mess the bed up.:msp_thumbsup:

If I were to daily drive the truck it would cost me a small fortune to gas it up every week. 9 miles to the gallon and a it holds like somewhere around 30 gallons....my pockets are not that deep! Its actually more practical to drive the mustang to save money.....LOL, yea go figure?

I can't argue that, had a '77 F250 4x4 flat bed, 4:10's, 351m, C6, stock sized tires, 7mpg any way you drove it. That truck drove me to diesels. Bought a '92 F250 diesel and doubled my mileage on any given day. I'd probably get in too much trouble in the Mustang, sweet looking car.
