I have sought medical attention. I have begun breathing into a paper bag. I have scheduled an appointment with a therapist. In short, I have done all that I can do to keep myself from losing my mind and buying what can only be described as my ultimate dream truck. I am not kidding. Look at this magnificence! This Ford truck is literally what any kid that grew up in the 1980s and fell in love with early monster trucks dreamed about every night of their lives. Sitting on the Goodyear Terra 48″ tires. Rolling on those white steel wheels, using a tilt hood and a tilt bed. Sweet tap dancing Jesus this is amazing.
The truly incredible thing about this truck is the quality of it. Honestly many of these old rigs were kind hammered together and while they may have looked decent from a far they were far from good. This thing is immaculate in and out, mechanically it seems to be really sound with a hotted up Ford big block, and the paint itself is nice enough to lead us to believe someone shot it on there like a week ago. Did we mention CHROME TUBE ROLL BAR?! Hot damn.
While I am sure there are a ton of you that think these trucks should be buried deep in a hole next to hair metal, Spudz MaKenzie, and New Coke, you are wrong. No, the thing won’t crawl rocks like a highly articulated modern rig. Yeah, it probably rides like a hay wagon but at the end of the day sacrificing comfort for cool has been the MO of hot rodders since the beginning. That’s not to say that the interior of the truck is bad, because it is as beautiful as the rest of the thing. It is the three foot thick leaf spring packs that give us the indication that things may not exactly be pillow soft as the Ford rolls down the road.
I am in love. Boy howdy am I ever!

This thing needs some Predator carbs to be complete… Preferably 3 of them, and a USHRA decal in the back window
Why is there a bolt missing rear spring pack to frame brkt?
The bolt is not missing, that is a hole to access the bolt.
