midnight_f150 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 My first truck was a 1984 F-250 with a 5.8L 4 barrel auto reg cab 2wd. Loved that truck my grandpa bought it used from his friend who owned a junkyard. It started lift out as a Uhaul truck that was laid on it side and slide down the freeway 250ft. Grandpa used it for his roofing company the truck had a rough life and was in rough shape. So I needed to upgrade sold it and bought a F-150 bricknose with a 4.9L auto reg cab swb 4wd. Fast forward to almost 13 years ago when I meet my future father inlaws 1984 F-250 reg cab 6.9L IDI 4sp flatbed 4wd. I've told him for years if he sells it I want first chance at it. Wife took a travel tech job we are currently in NJ while talking to him a few weeks ago he said do you still want the tan ford. So I own another bullnose again. It will sadly need a cab swap I believe. A few years ago a storm pull a tree limb down which fall thru the front windshield and busted the dash all to crap. He put a new windshield in it and keep using it. It also needs a new brake booster so planning to do the hydroboost upgrade. Sadly I don't have any pictures of it to share right now.

ArdWrknTrk Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Welcome to the Forum Jason! Look forward to seeing more of you and your father-in-law's old truck. As you can tell from my username, I like a working truck more than a trailer queen. Kinda the same, I'd rather a girl I can go fishing, or ride motorcycles with than one who's worried about breaking a nail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
