1972 F 250 4x4 & New guy in BC

Post by Dog_River »

Hello Guy's,

I have a 1972 F 250 4x4, 4 spd trans, w/ 360 CI. I have had this truck a long time and bought in when I lived in Wyoming. Its in original condition w/ 74000 mile on her. Runs great. I plan to do some work on it this year. I need a new hood and grille and windshield if anyone knows where I can find one ? Somebody must have hit a tree with it way before I bought it and mildly dented the hood and filled it with bondo. I will post up some more photos soon.

Thanks, Dog_River

:wel: from SoCal. And where are you currently living? It might help when looking for large parts such as a hoood and grille. Those can be a little large to ship and by the looks of the pictures, you definitly are not in SoCal, so I cant help you with those, but others might!

I have the CD for my '69 F250 CS. What I like about it is I can print out the pages I need and have them at the truck without worrying about getting them dirty. I highly recommend them.
