Bumps I saw at work

[Sparx Macgyver]

Hopefully I can get some pics, but I saw a couple trucks yesterday.

I. Arriving at work, the truck was pulling out of the parking entrance/exit. ONly saw it for a couple seconds, but it was nice. Same era as ours, I'm guessing an F350HD. I don't have any other info than it was white and a tow truck. If I see it again, and can snag the owner for a minute, I'll get more info.

II. While doing my rounds, saw a '67 (Identified by the grill). I'm assuming F100, cause it looked smaller than the F250, but bigger than a Ranger. No badges, not even FORD on the front. Runs nice, and looks great. Didn't get a chance to talk to the owner as I was doing rounds, but I saw it pull in, was able to go by it and get a closer look, but had to move on and finish my rounds.

III. White/blue '67 F250. Able to speak with the owner. Nice guy. Doesn't hae a PC, so no chance of hime coming here, but nice truck, and guy.

If I see any of them again, I'll ask if I can take a few pics or video, since I'll have my camera with me now.

So, I saw another one today. Got to speak to the owner. Real nice guy. Both him and his son own 5th gen trucks, so that's pretty neat. Here's what I got of there truck. It's only two pics, but it's all I got. Though I did pull a bone-head move. Forgot to tell'em about this place.

Anyway. here it is. It's a '72 F250 Ranger XLT Camper Special.

That old Ford has seen better days, but im willing to bet it's still stout as an ox.

Nice find

Thanks. I wish I'd been smart enough to remember this site, and ask him to join if he'd like to (unless he's a member lurking somehwere...)

but I agree. Nice looking truck and sounded pretty good starting up too! According to the guy, it was a $200 truck. Hell of a deal if you ask me.

That's a GREAT truck! It is a lot like mine, UGLY! Though beauty is only skin deep

It'll be a while before mine "looks" nice, but it will be working solid and the drivetrain not leaking when I start to use it.

On a side note, tonight after visiting my mother-in-law at the nursing home, the neighborhood behind the place had 3 bumps in it! Blue, Orange and Green (I think) and one was a 4x4; I love seeing them around!

That is awesome! I wish there were more in my local area's I frequent. I love seeing the trucks and talking to the owners. Allot fo them are really cool people. Usually wiht some neat or interesting stories.

Maybe out west, but in the Rust Belt that would be a clean ,unrestored survivor.
