Finally seeing the light

Post by Chickenhawk368 »

After 25 years of driving and car ownership with most of them being Chevy's I have seen the error of my ways. I have been looking for almost a year for a 1967-72 Ford F to use as my 4wheeled transport and restore project. Yesterday I found it, a 1972 F250, 360, auto. PO claims 67,000 miles on it, while I have chuckled at those making such claims before I am inclined to believe him for many reasons.
