My grandpa owned the truck before me. He bought it new in 1979. He used it as a farm truck till he retired. In the 80's my grandparents started traveling to New Mexico from Illinois every winter hauling an in bed camper. The shifting started getting to him and he gave me the truck. It had never had any problems till the shifter broke on me and is probably the easiest truck I've ever worked on, I highly recommend a 70's Ford truck to anyone.
WOW!! Thanks for this review. As a big fan of Ford trucks I love reading about these 300,000+ milers. It goes to show that the Japanese don't have the bragging rights they think they do. Some time ago I saw a guy with the hood up on an old F-150. I asked if he needed a jump start and he said yes. Then he went on to say "I guess it's about time I started having a little trouble with it. It's only got 345,000 miles on it".
