71 Ford F-250 from Colorado

[71fordgal]

I purchased a clean 1971 3/4 ton, 2-wheel drive his past summer. Had it a few months. I love this truck!

I'm going to restore it. It runs great, belonged to a mechanic in the small town I live in. It has the 390, with an oversize cam, 4 speed. The Body is in great shape, has new upholstery on the seat.

Need a few things for it....

Dash is cracked bad so will need to replace that.
Need original front bumper...has a homemade push guard on it that I want to take off.
Windshield needs to be replaced.
Paint job.

Just wanted to say "hi" on here....like the site alot, looks like a great place for info. I've had lots of classic vehicles but this is my first old Ford!!!

Colorado does have a lot of good ones. We drove ours out of there in 1993 when my family moved back East! I sure do miss it out there! Welcome to the forum!

Thanks!!! The little town I live in has lots of ranch/farm old Ford trucks...most of them still running!!! Some are not pretty....but they are functional and useful
.
I've been scoping out the sites that sell old truck parts, ordered catalogs and now have my wish list filled out!!! HA!!
