Don’t think I’m gonna remove it then!
Good stuff thanks bud!

 

I haven't gotten any farther than thinking about it. I actually thought about adding it the other pillars (front and back). It would give me a 'stripe' affect with the bed rack. Haven't done more than think about that either.

 

Did some stuff over the Thanksgiving weekend. Got the wrap done to cover the paint issues Toyota wouldn't fix, TDR Bilsteins to replace the spacer lift, Morimoto XB headlights, and new bumper. Still have to modify the mounts to install the fog lights.

 

Nice! And I like that old Ford in the back ground too!

 

I’m not a Ford fan, but that body style I always liked.

 

Dad was a Ford guy, so I grew up on it. My 'Holy Grail" would that body style in the full double cab, long bed 4x4. Saw one for sale on pretty good shape here a couple years ago, but student loan repayment was the priority.

 

Hah, breakover angle on that puppy is probably about 11 degrees.

 

If I had one of those, it would be a fire road truck and a grocery getter. The other stuff is what the Taco is for.

 

Bad ass dent side ford. Its a storage unit, not mine I wish though

 

Some poor old man doesn’t know we’re creepin’ on his truck. Lol.

 

Speaking of old men, when an old Ford was mentioned. I looked everywhere in that photo for a 69 Boss 302, or 67 Galaxia 500, or 65 Falcon Ranchero, or even a 72 Ranger, with the tool boxes, in the lower outside front bed sides, that are almost always rusted out! Oh well, that Ford is OK!

 

Galaxia! Otherwise known as the 4 door land barge.

 

Since you mentioned Ford Yachts, this was the first car my (divorced with custody) dad bought for us kids (me) to run errands and take my younger brother and sister to things they had to get to. Ours was a 1976 with the brown roof and interior, and the 460 had a Holly 4 barrel on it. (Which it probably needed anyway.) Lot of car for 16 year old. And it moved.

No, No, No, 2dr with big block engines and 4 speeds. The best and rarest, R code with a 427 Side Oiler, just like most but not all, big block Shelby AC Cobra's!

 

An Uncle Buck-mobile...

Did it back fire?

 

Had to look up the reference. It's been a while. And no. Dad was Ford Credit Dealer rep, and well liked. It was a very clean car for an apparently very good price. Why else would you get that car for a 16 year old new driver? That thing drank gas like some people drink beer.

 

Isn’t that the truth. I swear you’d see the gas tank needle drop a wee bit with every interstate on ramp run. And that was only to 60 back then.

 

Buddy of mine, his folks had a similar year (mid 70's) Country Squire LTD Wagon with the 460, that he and his brother dubbed, "The War Wagon", because you could weld some rebar to its windows and drive it through a zombie plague or a blockade on Manhattan Island... They couldn't make it from NYC to Lake George on a single tank; it got something like 8 mpg...

 

Found a pic if the truck and I hardly recognized it! The first haul, 12' boards in a 5.5' bed.
