Well I asked before . Thought be cool to see what Dealer /aftermarket conversions were sold through dealers in the 70's


Here in PA they had the sandbox conversion ( what I always see them advertised as ) . If u ever saw a set of white spoke rims with heart shaped openings they came from these. I had a 79 myself.

Basically full body sticker /paint with landscape /space scene on side . Some had leather tops small Ford oval windows in back of cab . Both Broncos and F trucks could be had . Custom bucket seats

I'm currently hunting for pics , brochures, anything about them. So it be interesting to see what you 40+ year old guys remember. Thanks

Sounds interesting... Subscribing.

I've seen them for $500a set at Carlisle and Hershey PA Car shows.

Maybe this type truck was further spread out than I thought .

What he said.

I have a few pics of conversions that in 70's Peterson Books.
Mostly vans.

Texas/Colorado (western theme) schemes were quite popular.

California (Beach theme)

drunk! funny thing tho on my way home from work today theres a set of the heart wheel for sale about 20 min from here

Cool . On the rims. That's the first thing I removed when I bought mine. Looked dorky with the 33"S .

The truck I had had a dealer brochure in glovebox . Wish I'd kept it.

Well I'm off this week and am going to take ride to see if the couple I know of still exist . If they do at least get pic of the back cab..

I have people looking for me for pics. Working on it ...
