My new acquisition

[Frankenchevy]

For free! A buddy of mine is moving shops and was going to have this towed and scrapped. There is nothing wrong with it except a bad fuel pump and the fact that somebody tried to steal it and punched out the ignition. He put airbags and a nice 10 foot flatbed on it a couple years ago. Only thing I have to do is get it towed about an hour to my house. I know there are a ton of Ford fans on here, so here it is. It’s a 1975 F350.

It’s an F350, but I’m not even really sure what the differences are between three-quarter ton and 1 ton Ford trucks from that year. It is a cab and chassis because the flatbed is 10 feet long and the trucks frame goes all the way to the back.

I’m not even sure what engine is in it. He owns a wood shop and the thing is full of wood shavings right now and to be honest I wouldn’t know what the hell I’m looking at when I open the hood in a Ford anyway. I guess I get to learn about Ford engines now.

Even though it's a Ford, it looks like a damn nice truck. That would have been a shame to scrap.

The big thing is IT'S SMOG EXEMPT!! Hopefully he non-op'ed it.

Nice score. Not a damn thing wrong with old Fords.

I just decided the vin and it’s a big block 460

X2. The grille looks to be more 74 than 79.

Yeah, me too. Didn’t even think to ask. They’re pretty squared away folks. I just sent them a text to ask. They were driving it within the last year or two, so it can’t be that far out of whack...hopefully.

460 is a good engine

I can't believe how clean that frame is.

Don’t tell Perry, he’ll think I washed it.

I’m sure his father in law painted it when he put the flatbed on. It looks like he did a good job of it though.

It sure does look good. Around here, that truck would pull a pretty good price. We simply don't find them in that kind of shape in our area.

Same here.

A year or two ago, I nearly became the foster parent of a '70 Ford truck for the same low low price of free. But it didn't run and it was rusty. Luckily, my buddy and I found a home for it. My wallet is still thanking me, lol.
