I think it's a real nice truck. I have 3 sets of those 10" rims like those on the rear. I always liked them but didn't put them on mine, don't know why. :?

This one's mine about a week after I bought it and had taken off the camper. The owner gave me 3 sets of those 10" rims including the set that's on it in the picture and 2 sets of split rims. I have the split rims on it now.

I think this is my favorite year, and the colors not bad either.

A nice F-100, 8 ft bed, auto trans, AC, XLT and a 390 would make a really nice truck. :thup:

so i see a trailer hitch sticking out of the front end of your truck. how did that work. i would think if it was being towed it would have had the other end of the hitch coming out from under the front of it.

The original owner used it to get his boat in and out of his backyard. I took it off and never used it.

thats stange. he should have put it on the back so he could see where he was going better. when i worked for a mobile home mover he had hitches that could be bolted on under the trucks so we could tow the flag trcuks and save gas on the way home.

I front hitch is great for maneuvering trailers in tight spots. I have a receiver on the front of my '96 F250. I use it to move my boat trailer around. It also gives you a great place to attach a chain or tow strap. There are no other hooks on my truck.
