  1. Locking Hood Release

    Hmm this one is a Custom model. It may have been added back in the 80s though after it was stolen and ended up in Chicago.
  2. Locking Hood Release

    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.
  3. quick tire question

    I bet 33s would fit.
  4. Locking Hood Release

    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...
  5. 78 F150

    I'm taking it back to him Sunday, just using it for a few days. I want to get one but with 4wd.
  6. 78 F150

    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...
  7. Using Raptor technoolgy on my 2009 f150

    You have to think of cost too. They went with nice shocks but they didn't just pick the nicest ones they could find. They still have to meet a pricing point that they are given by the accounting/marketing departments and they picked whatever was the best for the given price that they had to...
  8. General Dentside Chit-Chat

    I drove my gf's grandpa's 78 F150 302/4spd od yesterday. It's a little harder to drive than most sticks considering it still has the stock clutch but I loved it. He wants us to take it to prom or homecoming lol.

    I'm going to look at that F150 later today. Guy wants to trade for my car.
  10. I'm new here

    I definitely won't buy another car/truck without looking over it from top to bottom. I sorta did that with my car, I didn't notice that the odometer was broken so I didn't get a chance to use that in bargaining.

    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...
  12. frankenford update 56K warning but NOT death

    Looks good, I personally wouldn't have done the cab visor because I hate them. But if you like it, keep it.

    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.
  14. What brand of oil do you use?

    In my Saturn I run whatever is cheapest. When it's burning a quart a week it doesn't really matter.
  15. I'm new here

    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.
