Seller has relisted and dropped the price. Someone grab this thing before I spend my tax return $$$ on it.

I would probably have already sent an email if it were closer to me... but I might be murdered if I brought that home right now.
Although I'll be in Winona Lake (halfway between home and Indy) in a couple weeks... Hmm.
I wonder if it could be driven three hours home....
If it was a Chevy of the same era.... I'd likely be in divorce court right now.

Give him a call and find out.... number listed in CL posting. If Toyman can drive that 1950's bus over a thousand miles, I'm sure you can find a way to get it going for a "three hour tour".

Hmm. This divorce does have it's perks.
If it could make a three hour drive then it could make the 4 hour drive to my home...
Someone else buy it please and save me from the irresponsible ideas brewing in my head.
It is a Ford so it meets the number one requisite for an epic adventure.
I like this one too.
That's sweet looking too, but I like the square headlights better.

I got off the phone with Ray, the seller. This is his report (paraphrased) report:
Mechanically the truck is good, No problems making a three hour drive. front end is "tight" (his word exactly) It will need cab corners doors need seals freshened up cracked dash pad seats a bit ripped up.
I live far side of Indianapolis and the truck is located in Bedford, IN. Unfortunately that's 2 hours away. If you're REAL serious, lets see if someone else is closer, or maybe I could get there next weekend.
I am about 4 hours from Bedford, is anyone closer?
I'm 2.5 hours out.
that looks wonderful. i already have my shortbed regular cab tooling around down truck, so i don't need it. not that steve does either, but that's never stopped him before.
Oh Lord why do I feel the need to have this in my life?
I have a 331, Tremec and 8.8 disc brake with LSD to go into that too, anybody able to check it out

YOU ARE NOT HELPING.
I'm 4.5 hrs away so I'm not any more help. I DID NOT need to see this though. My favorite year of F-150 that costs less then my pending tax return check is incredibly tempting! My Dad had a black on black 79 4x4 long bed when I was growing up and that's the pinnacle of F-150s outside of a 50-56 F-100 in my book.
My friend's father bought a new one in 1979. It was a 2wd short bed stepside in metallic brown. I loved that truck. I agree that it's one of Ford's best generations, after the '41 and the '53-'56.
That truck has the less attractive 1980+ rear fenders on it, but it still looks cool and it's an easy fix, if you care.
