Old Truck - FREE Wallpaper
Friends, I figured someone might appreciate this photo of an old truck I came upon while on a hike. Anyone know what year?.

Is an 80 or down, fyi. At least that is what the front clip is, or what's left of it.

Re: Old Truck - FREE Wallpaper

Re: Old Truck - FREE Wallpaper
I got under it and saw that the rear leaf springs are held together with baling wire...might shed some light on how it went off the road and came to rest at the bottom of this ravine.

Re: Old Truck - FREE Wallpaper
Yep - not much left to go by; definitely '73 - 80.
The only other refinement I could make would be that it has roof drip rails, which would rule out '73 (and perhaps '74, depending on when they were introduced). Beautiful pic, btw. K

Re: Old Truck - FREE Wallpaper
Thanks for the awesome pic and welcome to the forum mikeSF. Just so you know, to you have to be a site supporter to promote your business, so I edited your post.
We know its not a 73 due to the drip rails. I'm going to say its not a 78 because it doesn't have the pin at the firewall to prevent the hood from kicking back on impact. Anyone else?

Re: Old Truck - FREE Wallpaper
Well the model looks like a custom de luxe
74 was the year when they started putting those plastic inserts on the door handles And i think this truck has those plastic inserts on the door handle N2TRUX and i believe N2TRUX is right about it being before 78 |

Re: Old Truck - FREE Wallpaper
Since it appears to have a outside hood release and cable release was introduced in 77, Along with the drip rails as mentioned I'd say it's a 74-75 or 76....
Kool Pic !

Re: Old Truck - FREE Wallpaper
It isn't 73/74, look at the reveals below the rear window on the inside of the cab..the early models were clean and smooth.
