Yea, my 76 F150 sucks for gas milage, but I can throw 2000lbs in the back and the ride only gets better!

yea, these days people dont. Those of us that use our trucks for their intended purpose are now the minority, and therefor no longer the target audience.

Congrats ! Good looking truck .My first 4x4 was a '75 Ford F250. Ordered it new from the factory. Great truck. Years later, and many 4x4s later I bought a new '88 Ford F150 . NOT so great truck.

Very nice find! 79s are nice! I just wish theyd of stuck with the same suspension they had 77.5 and prior.

Thats a nice looking truck.

Nice truck! There is one in my neighborhood that rarely moves and is a nice truck. It had a For Sale sign for only a short time, and then they must have decided to keep it. I was going to stop and look at it, but didn't even get a chance.

Thanks all for the replys! Put cats on her last night (she is LOUD without mufflers!! ) Going for emissions test tomorrow, then registration Monday. She'll def be used as a truck should. And like I said I got plans for her. Keep an eye out for a build thread...
