On the West side of 99, yep, that's the one.

Right, but my point was that these trucks aren't going to exist for very long.
But no prob, I can get the info.

I live in Arkansas and all the salvage yards around have crushed the old ford trucks.I sure could use a pair of those hood springs and a few other parts off those trucks to help get my 1972 Sport Custom back on the road.

so this would be like a "no-kill" shelter- at the going price of scrap there's gonna be a lot less of them in another 6 mo. jd

More retired Fords. The Chico yard had some new ones. I forgot to bring my camera to the local yard so I'll have to get those later:

The PO should have given this one to me, a '70 4x4 doesn't belong in a wrecking yard:

This is a nice one too:

Not much left of this one:

Complete with camper!:

This was an interesting one, duel fuel, propane and gas. Motor's gone now. Darn near perfect headliner, dash pad, and the floor lining looked good too. I got the majority of the side chrome for my truck after I took the pics:

LOL, sometimes. It's just a matter of reminding yourself of the good things and forgetting about death and taxes.

Yep, obviously rather dirty, but a nice truck. FE V8, 4spd. Other than the intake someone already snagged it was complete. Didn't belong there, IMO. Shame previous owners don't offer stuff like that for sale before junking it.

I think that's the first time I've seen that side, in-bed tool box on one of the 67-72 series. I had thought that was a later 70's thing.

That one deserves to be "rescued" jd maybe we should start a new organisation- maybe get some fed. funding-

Was that 4x4 a F250 or F100? I haven't seen a F250 4x4 at the boneyards. I've seen the F100's.

ToughOldFord · Post by **ToughOldFord** » Mon Feb 13, 2006 9:02 am

It was a F-100

Well, that makes me feel a little bit better only because I didn't miss out. Then again, that's one more Ford going to the crusher.
