It's not mine, it's my gf's grandpa's truck and I just wanted to make sure since I didn't know if it was leaking any or not. He changed the oil about a month ago and told me he checked it a couple days before I borrowed it.
I've been driving around this 78 F150 for a couple days and today I decided I should pop the hood and check the oil and stuff. So I tried to open it from just the latch but it wouldn't move so I figured it had a release. I got in the truck and tried to pull the release but it wouldn't move...
This isn't my truck but I'm driving it for the next couple days. It's my girlfriend's grandpa's truck. His father in law bought it brand new in 1978, it's got a 302 and a 4 speed toploader with OD. He's starting to do some resto work on it. This truck has lived on the same farm since it was...

I think I'm just going to hold on to my Saturn for now, but this kid at school has a Mazda B2200 it's an 88 or so. It has almost no rust, 4 cylinder 5 speed RCSB. I like it alot and it will still get decent mileage and it will be adequate for what I need so I think I'm going to wait and see if...
That truck isn't bad by Iowa standards, at least for the price. I would definitely look at it in person, though. I'm going to try and load that page again cause it seems to be cached on Firefox.Edit: Yep, it's deleted. Damnit.
The guy with the Ford sent me an email with more pictures:I did, however, just find this on craigslist: http://desmoines.craigslist.org/cto/1121085241.html
4x4, Better body, Lower price. I'm really interested in it. Although I know you guys won't like it.
