KC Mo area, 72 F-250 camper special, Tampico yellow (not my first choice but I went back to stock. Code8)
Local find little to no rust, either 140 or 240 K, 429 out of a 72 Merc Marquis by the VIN on the Motor. (I would gladly trade this and the C-6 for a straight 6!!)
Got a Maaco paint job and bedlinered it with a paint roller, put in a new interior and had the rims powder coated (before I discovered that the 16.5's are near obsolete
Neither of these pics have the home made "White" Mud flaps, made from cut down take offs from one of my tractors. They set it off awesome.
This pic is before I got the wheels powdercoated. Also it was overcast and rainy so cant see the shine too well.
Best thing about the truck is the $3510 invested incl purchase price. Runs and rides and looks like new. Took 2 years of tinkering but its better than shelling out for a new one.
Nice truck! Thanks for the pics. I like your avatar also. I've got two tortoises. None with rockets though.
