Default What Have I Done?!?!

Just bought a beater this week! Before you say anything, I know it is a Ford! I believe I have hit an all time low! But hey, I need a beater, it was cheap and it runs. I will just sell it back to the previous owner as soon as I get my truck back on the road. He needs the money and I need something to drive this winter.

Ugly?! Isn't it?

Oh No! I have no plans for this. That all I need is another project! It has a 351 and it 4 wheel drive. I have thought about a paint job, but it needs bed sides and a lot of filler. Not in my winter budget! It needs a new carb, front bushings and a heater blower, but I have all those parts sitting in the garage. The guy I bought it off of is going to put it all on sometime this month.

Not bad at all.. Sell it to me when you don't want it. My dad loves old Ford trucks.

Hey if the previous owner does not have the money when I am done with it, maybe we can work out a deal. It is a 1979, I heard that is a good year for these trucks!
