**Palf70Step** · 12-17-2002, 10:47 PM

Looks good. He has been good to you again.
So what's the plan? Since you already got it on the trailor, why not just bring it down yonder and I'll hold it for you a few decades!!

**BIG ORANGE** · 12-17-2002, 10:51 PM

Here's some info. on the truck:V8 350, 3 on the tree, gauges,duals. It's been part a few months but I,m sure a new battery and some fresh petro and she will be fine,I know the lady that had it was driving it until she bought a new pathfinder. Owell we know what to do with it. This truck has very very little rust I think SNOWMAN would like this one.lol

weasel29gm · 12-17-2002, 11:46 PM

Looks good Donnie, could you be startin' a new truck lot down there! Later Weasel

Good find in my book.

Not that cream soda is bad but come on....Its not sun drop

junkyardjohn · 12-18-2002, 01:01 AM

LOOKS GOOD DONNIE . I THOUGHT I HAD A BAD CASE OF "THE JUST GOTTA HAVE IT DISEASE" BUT HOLY COW .. YOU MAKE ME LOOK LIKE A PIKER

LOL

*rayville body* · 12-18-2002, 01:17 AM

do you own 52 trucks or have you had 52 trucks that body style? how did you put those late model center caps on truck #51? did you use metric lug studs? i need the secret!

dashadow · 12-18-2002, 02:18 AM

I hope you realize two things. One...the factory only made so many of these trucks so there IS a limit

. Two...if you keep buying these trucks you are going to force people to drive Fords

. Nice truck and if you hurry you still have enough time to buy something for it for Christmas! Good luck(again).

Hooter · 12-18-2002, 02:21 AM

Why can't I ever find deals like that around here!?

**COBALT** · 12-18-2002, 05:04 AM

Nice score.

Interesting that it has a reproduction grille. Wonder what happened to the original...

wally4232 · 12-18-2002, 07:22 AM

I dont mean to crash your thread, I apologize, but I am looking for new mirrors like the ones on truck #52. Can anyone tell me what style they are and where I might get them?

Sorry again,

Eric

P.S. That is a sweet looking truck! Congrats.

Woody · 12-18-2002, 09:16 AM

The Mirrors are Jr. RV mirrors. I have them on my 69, it came from the factory with them but some one had removed them, and put some cheap aftermarket mirrors on. I found a set setting on a truck in a field and bought them for $20.

snow man · 12-18-2002, 10:36 AM

ok donnie i have to ask what do you want for number 52 i am interested , will have to hide it out at your place for a little while. let me know maybe we can make a road trip again. snow man

GloryHound · 12-18-2002, 10:37 AM

You guys need to let someone else have a chance to get their hands on one of these trucks. I only have one from the 67 to 72 era. I thought the idea was to fix these things up not collect them and make sure nobody else can get their hands on one without forking a mint out.

Hey just kidding you all I would have 50 or so of them if my wife

would let me. At least I understand the trucks when compared to my wife.

It looks like a great truck. Just make sure you treat her good or I'll call the cops on you for truck abuse!!

meathead95 · 12-18-2002, 04:46 PM

looks like you scored another good truck. did you buy the burnt one?

HIGH724X4 · 12-18-2002, 06:40 PM

Big Orange You have all the fun!!! Nice Looking Truck...

imaindianoutlaw · 12-18-2002, 07:08 PM

look at the cowl! Hurry and clean it out!

**BIG ORANGE** · 12-18-2002, 08:10 PM

Wellwho is first: rayville body- I have had 52 trucks over 8 years at the present I have 9 trucks and 1 burb.
As far as the center caps I use self tappen screws from the rear of the rim,works great!

Meathead 95- burnt truck: stillhavent heard from the owner yet

indianoutlaw: cleaning the cowl is the first thing I want to do but I got a couple people wanting to buy the truck as is so I dont want to do much to it,how ever I did remove the front swaybar for my own daily driver.

This truck has some nice sheet metal on it and if knowone buys it I might slide a Big Block in there maybe a 454!

meathead95 · 12-19-2002, 10:34 AM
