The story

I bought this truck as a 2wd fixer upper from a junkyard with a knocking engine for a $100 and drove it to the shop a few blocks away. I rebuilt the engine into a 390 with a crank and rod swap, flat tops, pulling camshaft and HV oil pump. I drove it for several years unitl I got a newer truck with A/C. I bought a 1979 Super Cab from a friend and it was totally shot as far as the body, My '72 had a shot frame as it had been welded several times under the cab due to frozen rear shocks or something, I don't know, I got tired of rewelding it every year. I took the '79 4x4 frame and slid it under the body of my '72 and went from there to make a 1972 F-150 4x4 thatv I use at my Grandfathers' in NE Arkansas · ghettoscrap
