Sorry Chuck, I'm only a fan of Fords if they have a Chevy engine.

Man! that is some of the best ORBX grass i have ever seen!!!! Love the old "Custom 100's". That was back when trucks were really trucks! Steel body panels instead of fiberglass, steel bumpers instead of molded plastic. You could litterally beat those trucks and never kill em; now a days, let a 2 yr old hit the bumper with a plastic hammer and the Airbag will go off.

Thanks guys........Larry, the only difference between this truck and your description is a few years and one gear.
This one has a granny 1st gear....making it a four speed. Right on about the heater and a.m. radio though. I think the heat may have been an option.......to get it to turn on is quite a process involving four separate knobs that either push/pull or turn

Good afternoon all...

Hey Chuck...lets see a few more of her...

Now would you lads remember the "Fargo".
http://www.allpar.com/old/fargo.htmlThat is what we bought for years along with Land Rovers.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_RoverI also owned a Hudson Terraplane...awesome car and fast.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TerraplaneOne of my older brothers is a Ford person, he always has a Ford Half-Ton truck, can't remember what his wife drives but he always argues with us....
The reason Ford builds the half ton truck tough is because they built the Ford Trimotor...

Thanks guys....heres a shot of the whole truck.....

When I first noticed that "FORD" was stamped backwards, I thought it was just the reverse of the stamp on the outside of the tailgate......

......it's not.......FoMoCo was pretty clever here


Thanks 4 looking

I never said Ford didn't have some good ideas. I have wanted their turn signal lever pull for brights on my GM products for years. This one, I had not seen before though. Cute.
