Your Dream Ford: either truck or car

Well, I'm bored, and it's too quiet in here. What would it be? Either or both. As far as trucks are concerned, it would probably be a 56 F-100. Metallic blue, white rims, small block....

The car is a different story. '67 Fairlane 427, 4 speed, dual quads... Yeah buddy!

Well, I'm working on my truck right now, 77 F250 4x4. For a car, I would love to have a 70 Mach 1 or Boss 429. Other than a Ford, for a car, to have a 69 Charger would be very cool.

Well for pickups I'm caught between two different ones.......2wd - '69 half ton with my 390 and C6 in it....deep gears, posi rear end, front discs, power steering, all the goodies......4wd - 67-77.5 F-250 highboy......probably a warmed over 390 (built for torque.....of course!) auto or 4 speed.....doesn't matter, 4.10 posi, 35" mud tires. I've had a little time to dream if you didn't notice......

For the car I agree with Pat.....doesn't get much badder than a mid-60's Fairlane/Galaxie with either the 427, 428, or 390 in it and a 4 speed.......

1967 Mustang ragtop (since I was born in 67!)

1950 F1, 79 F250 4x4.

I loved those late 70's T-birds too... My mom had a 77.

Wouldn't mind having a 65 Corvette or a 70 Chevelle SS.

I'm with you on the Chevelle Rob. My brother-in-law has a 70. 454, 4speed, and air cond! It's a forest green SS with the cowl induction and white stripes. Of course, he says he's going to fix it up. It's just sitting in a barn, rotting....criminal!

I don't know Pat, maybe you can work on your wife and have her work on him... most women can't stand old cars just sitting around collecting dust.

My wife can't stand that I have an old truck that sits around most of the time, and I at least wash the dust off of it every couple weeks!

My girlfriend won't ride in Ol Blue in it's current state. I don't really blame her thought, it is 3 different colors and all sorts of worn out after 39 hard years of work......now, if she still won't ride with me when it's done then that's a different deal there....
