It's amazing any are still out there in barns and pastures. It seems very few went for junk even once they gave up the ghost. These trucks have been a beloved thing since day-1. It wasn't but a couple years after the '73s came out I started having guys coming up saying "I used to have one, traded for the new style, wish I still had it". my first one was a '72 big block Highlander shortbed I bought off the OK Used Car Lot in '73 for 2,800 bucks. Looked like nothing was ever put in the bed...like new. I don't recall the mileage but it was way low. I figured some fool hardly used it when the "ALL NEW" ones came out and he foolishly dumped the it to be the first on his block to have one. I guarantee he was wishin' he kept it. Those things rusted out back east in a couple years. ford guys were lovin' it. Who's laughing now? 67-72s held up to rust around here better than the 67-72 or even later Fords!
