I had a 67 4x4 with a 360. Wish I had that one back and a 69 Cougar.
It is more blessed to give than to receive

I had a 1979 with a 302. Keep an eye on your oil pressure I had an old "68" Ford Custom with a 302 in it.When I went to the gas station,,I would say fill it up with oil and check the gas.

Love them old trucks ...put some weight in the bed throw some snow tires on the rear and go trapping. Auto or manual? Cant beat the price.

Had one just like it, even same color.. Bought it for a dollar from coworker who lost his license to dui and I bought it so we could keep getting to work with the tools. What a truck. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Nice truck. Good price , will always be worth at least or more than that , and will increase in value.
Had a '68 with a straight 6 and a 3 on the tree , 2wd. Solid and simple.

Learned to drive in one of these without a shifter. The column shifter broke so my dad installed one on the floor. Then that broke. We had a hole in the floor right over the transmission and a tire iron on the front seat. You would clutch and stick the tire iron through the hole in the floor to manually operate the two shift levers on the top of the transmission. It wasn't bad once you learned how to do it. By the time I was driving it, it was just a truck that ran around the farm.

I love them old trucks! That one is from an era where truck was still a truck. The carpeted, cloth-seated, air-conditioned, power-everything garage queens of today don't compare!
Eh...wot?

Looks newer than a 71, Id guess 74.75 looking at the body lines. Yeah the title and driver's door says 1977. I'm not so sure, because it's got points and from what I could find, ford trucks had duraspark in 77. So I'm not totally convinced it's a 77.
