Good evening David,
Thanks for detailing your truck's rare options and configuration! I wonder if Keith has a brochure that covers those.
My favorite options were in the Organic Package!!!
In all seriousness, black paint always looks great on a Bumpside, no matter what its condition.

Why Flyboy......I am ashamed of you for not recognizing the extremely rare but highly desireable side dump bump tailgate option. You should know better.flyboy71 wrote:I need a set of woodgrain cab mounts myself. Was the painted FORD hood lettering a factory option? Looks nice. I see you have the "F" delete plate on the tailgate too. Personally I wouldnt have paid extra for that option, Id have just bent it to fit that curve in the rear bumper step. Is the tailgate falling off on the one side or is the truck just parked crooked?![]()
Nice ride. Youll discover lotsa goodies as you start the tear down.

How do you know that maybe behind that license plate is the gas tank filler relocated? Hmmmmm. An aftermarket highly sought after custom. I mean fuel does start with "F" so what better place to put it.TNIceWolf wrote:Why Flyboy......I am ashamed of you for not recognizing the extremely rare but highly desireable side dump bump tailgate option.

The fuel in this truck starts with "V" for varnish. Does anything smell worse than old gasoline? Man I hate that smell. It's like the smell of death for vehicles!
