    The local welder[Ed Tolbert] where I grew up had one of these, top was cut off with windshield frame left on. I always wanted to buy it and leave it like he had it. His welding shop was the orginal Ford dealership and parts shop. I can still remember the signs ect. hanging and parts in the shelves. This was in the early to mid 70's.

    I never really cared for those years too but could not pass one up now if the price was right.

    Yep, it's been officially on the road for a couple weeks. I had a new windshield/gasket installed, exhaust, and a new wiring harness. It drives great, nice having a beater truck again ;)

    Here we are up in the woods over the weekend
