Saw this one yesterday here in San Antonio. You may notice the legendary Earl Abel's sign in the background.

:yt: aww man what a nice clean body there! And never seen s "bump box" to date here I believe, (or very few of them anyway). What's up with the tubing ran through the what looks like dual wheel simulators? No gas cap on the PS saddle tank?
Thanks for sharing! :wink:

91Bear,
That looks like a former UHaul truck. There's one in the next town up the river from me. It's a '67 six cylinder, automatic. They still move it around the yard from time to time.

Saw this one in town outside the local 4WD performance & custom shop. It has a tube chassis and 4-link suspension under it! :eek:

I've seen this guy around a lot, finally got a picture. A bad picture though.

The bed is cut in half, at the bump...

You don't see trucks like this very often in San Diego anymore. I had to stop and take pictures. The guy said he would sell it for $2,000.

The guy that owned it said he used to keep his Peacocks in the back.

It has a 390 and check out the generator under the hood.

The interior wasn't in to bad of shape, considering it was a peacock coop.

No, I saw it as I was driving and stopped to look. The guy came out of his business to talk to me and let me take pictures. I asked if he would sell it and he said for 2k he would.

Saw this 1969 F-100 the other day. Lifted with modern 17" wheels. Not too bad looking. I'm more of a all-stock kind of guy, but I go for a bump like this.

Met a real nice guy and his '68 F-100 this weekend at a Bluegrass Music Festival. Mostly all original 1968 F-100 Ranger, complete with original 8-track player. I told him about the site. Hope to see him on here soon.

Another truck I saw recently in the Athens, GA area. Looks kind of similar to mine, but a lot more dirty and run-down.
