My 1972 stepside truck.

[In The Ten Ring]

I finally got around to taking some pics of her. My dad bought her off the new car lot in 1971 for $2350.00. She served as a work truck and daily driver/work truck until 1994. She was parked in a garage (no prep, alas) until 2003 when she was driven some by me until 2005 when she was again parked in my garage until last June (again, no prep).

1/2 ton, 250 inline, 3 speed manual on column, no AC

Gorgeous truck, appears to be in great shape! I love ochre. I like the window vent/shades too.

very nice looking truck

My dad has always had a thing for hood ornaments. He has a decent collection mounted on his mantel. I have no idea when he affixed that Lincoln "sight" but it's been there as long as I can remember.

Thanks for the compliments, it's been bondo'ed and repainted once but that's the original color.

I'll try for some more pics this week, espcially of the sides and rear.
