The one with the camper looks like a Northeastern truck with all that rust.

:yt: I don't know if I'd trust it to hold a camper anymore. The camper is probably holding the bed together.

Most older vehicles here in the SALT Lake valley are rusted. In the winter the DOT spreads 100% salt on the snowy/icy roads. :(

Spotted this one in my driveway over the weekend.

Actually I saw this truck about 2 years or so ago at my local supermaket parking lot. I talked to the owner and we planned to get together. It took us a while with both our jobs and family stuff. He is registered here, but hasn't posted. We collected some firewood together.
Image

His F100 has a 289 from a mustang and an auto trans. Its in pretty good shape for a NY truck.

Yeah we had it loaded up pretty good too. It was sitting pretty low. I like the look of the 1/2 ton shorties. I've always been a big truck guy, but the little ones are starting to look better to me.

Did these trucks come from factory with uneven gaps in the bed to cab alignment? or does this happen over time? i know the front tires are a little off from each other as fars as the front of tire to front of fender gap.
