30's model for a dream truck . Flat head rodded all Ford .
A 65 and a 74 both full up restores .
Those are my choices .

 

My current F350, maybe a little newer. The others would be a 66-77 Bronco, 67-72 pickup 4x4. 73-76 pickup 4x4 and of course a 79 Bronco.

 

This would do ...

A 96-97 F-250/350 460 w/ MAF OBDII instead of the OBD1 SD EFI my 94 has, a little more HP than mine, with great reliability.
Still serious power in a package with computer assist, but a motor you don't have to be a computer hacker to work on.

 

I would love to have my old 85 F-150 Reg cab, long bed 4wd back. That truck did not care what I did to it. If I drove it 50 mph or 80 mph, loaded or empty, once it was rolling it was gone, averaging 18 mpg. It was an oddball, I guess like me. Oddball engine, oddball transmission, a locker in the rear and a trac-lok in the front. Everyone swears that Ford did not use the 351M400 and 5/s that year, but I know what was under the hood and in the tunnel. I drove it and I changed enough plugs in it. It would not climb a tree, but would damn well try. It would lite up those 33's through the upper 3 gears and bark 4th.

The old girl was like Johnny Cash's Caddy. I finally wised up and when I needed a part, I took the old one because the dealership would tell me that the part was not for that year. I made a great friend at the dealership in the parts department. As I approached his window, he would ask car or truck. When I said truck, he would get that oh fook on his face and then laugh.

Due to the crazy parts, we ran a serial number check and found that the truck was a special order, and it came in with the wrong color (Midnite Blue instead of Lite Blue) and it was refused. It was for a Canadian Oil Company rep that was in WV at the time. I always thought it was strange because it was badged as an XL, but had all of the Lariat Trim, but no carpet. Once I added the push bar, dark tint, chrome wheels, bed cover, rancho long bar 4 inch lift and 33 BFG M/T's, it was a bad ass looking truck. It would go anywhere I wanted and even into places that people would look at me with the comment of how in the hell did you get that in here! I put 400K on her and the only engine work was for a timing chain and a couple is distributors.

 

I would love to have my "32" back that I sold to my mining partner when I needed cash for my business. Alas, he died two years ago and his wife sold it to a guy that totaled it out the first week......

For now, I'll keep my 35, my 67 shortbed, and my 53 Panel (not a pickup, but was made to haul things...........lol

 

I am thinking maybe one of these...

....Properly accessorized.

I love the old style Broncos! And the accessories!

 

I like the brunette............

 

35 or 36 pickup with a flathead, overhead valves, 3 deuce setup, AC, auto transmission, and 4 wheel drive conversion.

 

At this point - one that runs.

But I do like the '32s and '34s, something about them is just plain cool.

 

My all time most wanted Ford truck?

OBS F350 Powerstroke crew cab dually 4x4.

I know Ford never built an OBS F350 dually 4x4, but they built F450 Superduty trucks in the OBS with 4x4. Some enterprising individuals built their own. Either find a wrecked F450 and use it's front and rear, or get Arrowcraft hub spacers and dually flares, or some combination of both.

I was lucky enough to drive one myself, the owner had built two previously, the one I drove was his to keep, but it was a regular cab. Still a fun truck to drive.

I'd also add a Raptor to my fleet. And a last gen Ranger with a V8. And a 79 Bronco. And keep my current F150.

 

I like them both equally
