You should be able to find something like that down there in Arkansas, and it won't be nearly as rusted as they are up here in NY. Both of those machines, the 1970 F350, and 1972 149 are pretty easy to work on. Very simple machines, and the tractor was clearly built to last forever, the truck, not so much.
It was absolutely like new. It was a couple-year old paint job (two tone brown/white), original colors if I am correct, and it was really low mileage. Only thing aftermarket was the wheels, and they made the truck look sweet.8 grand! WOW! Must have been mint. I paid $700 for mine in 2006, but it is nowhere near mint.

I wished I'd taken a pic of it, yes it was a nice one. Those trucks were tough as nails, they don't build trucks for the masses like that anymore.Back in the day, those camper specials were "the truck". My friend now has his grandfather's 78 f350 camper special. With racks on the side, he has stacked 1 full cord of hardwood in the back (multiple times actually) and driven it nearly 100 miles from his family farm back down to the home he lives in now in central Pa.

His grandfather had water injection, an upgraded cam, aftermarket carb, and a lot of other goodies on that truck.
Used to ride down from Poughkeepsie (on motorcycles) and check it out on Wed nights. $2 admission was well worth it plus 9D was a nice ride.

Well said...My POS 2010 F250 stranded me in Virginia on the way back from the OBX!
