I aquired a 1970 F-250 LWB flareside from my step-dad in early August. It is equipt with a 300 I6 and a 4 speed manual with the granny low 1st gear. My younger son and I drove it back from California to South Mississippi. We slept in the slide-out camper top. It was a great trip. The only downside was we did not have the AC working for the trip. I have since fixed that. No AC in South Mississippi is not really practical. Here a few pictures.
At sunset somewhere in West Texas.

In the morning at rest stop about 300 miles from the first location.

It runs very well. I plan to repaint it and fix some of the minor rust problems.
