1982! Old Homer is a '72 Ford F-350, I'm the 3rd owner. He started life as a farm truck - 300 ci six, 9' stepside, geared for field work (4.56 rear, "truck" 4 spd). I've used him primarily as a tow rig for my hillclimb car, and he's been "fixed up" extensively. Now, he has a "hot rod" 302, a Chrysler Newport radiator, Delco alternator, H4 headlights, guages, big stereo, 8' Fleetside box, BesTop "contractor" cap, 12.50 x 33 rear tires, 8" channel iron bumper, +,+,+.....
I've spent several times his $900 purchase price over the years, but he's still a bargain - price out a new truck of his load capacity, you'll know why!
