hello from mn
well i guess its to new but i dont care. Hello from Minnesota i recently bought a 1977 ford courier. My grandpa bought it new in 77 and the family sold it in 95. I found it again 2 years ago and finally was able to talk the owner out of it. I hope to learn alot from this site and use it to help restore the truck. thanks in advance

Great looking Courier! Appears to be all stock, right down to the hub caps.
Thanks for sharing!

Re: hello from mn
Good evening 77Courier,
Thanks for putting the photo up! That's a classic and unusual truck--at least I've rarely seen them in this area.
It looks like it's in great shape too! I'd be curious to see more photos if you have a chance to add some.
And I also really like Ezernut9mm's re-powering idea; especially the 351W idea.
But maybe your truck's too original to spoil with any big changes?
