Things that go bump in your town

[FLATBEDFORD]

Not a bump, but anything more than 20 years old is a big deal around me.

Dents aren't as common around here anymore either.I konw of a few nice ones but most are about crusher material. I'll try to grab a few pics of the nice ones.

[FLATBEDFORD]

There are 54 other dents around that I know of. All but one F100 are F350s. One flatbed, 1 dump, and two wreckers. I'll get some pictures of those too.

Edit: I meant to type 5 other dents, not 54. There are actually 6.

Here's a highboy loaded with scrap parked in front of a now closed gas station.The family that owns the property still uses the garage for their own work.


Not a bump but my brother bought this 79 F350 4x4 in 81.Although it looks okay the cab, bed and frame are getting pretty rough.With 300+k on it he definitely got his money out of it.

This highboy has a 79 grille but it's definitely a highboy.



Here's a nice 76 or 77 F150.


This F150 is typical of most of the dents left around here.

This one's about a 1/2 mile from my house and has been sitting there for years.

Just spotted this one up the road from me. Looks pretty worn out. Seems they used something else to plow this winter.

I too have had those visions. If/when I do it, I'm gonna go with one of those electric setups. I had most of the stuff from the '86 that a friend gave me. Once I started looking at PTOs, linkages, shafts, and the monster 8 ton, 400lb hoist I had, I decided to change plans. The dump will be one of the last projects for this bump.

no pics yet,
1) but my dad got a pic of a green/white bump on his cell(which cant be transfered to computer).
2) he also saw a crewcab bump SHORT bed.
3)there is also a very nice green/white bump by my house
4)also a nice 4x4 blu/white sport custom 1972 that drives by my school everyday at the exact same time.
5)also a 1971 f100 custom next to where i work,
6)and a bump that my boss is going to show to me

im going to bring a camera to school to try to get a pic of the 4x4, im going to bring the camera to work to get a pic of the 71 custom, and ill get a pic of the green/white one sometime.
and dont even get me started on dents

[1971ford]

and if i got a dollar for every DENT i saw, i would be rich!

Again, there is no bumps, dents, or even 80-86's around here. The only trucks though like that is my bump, my grandpas dent and the people I work for's dent.

[AlleyCat]

Robert, that's why it's called the rust belt. Any part below belt height on the average size guy rusts away to nothing.

[cghstrojan08]

Ya, tell me about it.
