I Don't Normally Care For Trucks Like This...

But I saw this while cruising around Denver tonight. It's probably useless, but I love the way it looks. The older Fords look better then the newer body styles when you jack them up like this. Plus 1979 is my favorite for Ford trucks and Broncos. I'm not home where I can edit the pictures, so excuse the fade. Used the wrong setting on the camera.



I saw this old beast a few weeks back. I liked it alot too.



For you Cheby lubbers out there, this was some awesome work wasted on a pile of bow tie.



And that's tonights show and tell.

Your welcome.

The SS looks VERY nice to me... I'd love to have it.

Sweet! I like all three! BTW, '79 is my favorite year for Ford trucks too. I like the square lights...

But I'm not too sure how to take your "pile of bow tie" comment...


BTW, I prefer these with the round headlights, and if I ever get around to getting it painted I'll convert to round headlights, plus add on the TPI, hunt down a T56, and rebuild a bunch of stuff... Ah, projects...

78 -79s are my favorite older Ford's too, but then there was that 76,000 original mile 73 that got away...

I like the SS and the yellow truck but the lifted truck is way to overboard for me. I don't mind a lift but I'd seriously have to install an elevator to get in that thing!

I love the square headlights of the 79. My uncle used to have a late '78 model Bronco that had the square headlights. Other than the '65 F-100, the '79 is my favorite old Ford truck.

Myself I like the yellow truck the best.


I flushed something that looked like a Camaro the other day...but hey I don't knock a guy for liking 'em either. I guess I could tolerate the late '60's Camaros better than any, but it's just the principle I guess.

Square lights rock!

78's with the Ranger trim had square lights too.

I disagree... I love 4 eye Fox bodies

Camaros too, but that's another story...
