Another TRUE Barn find!
Can't believe I just bought another vehicle.....! My wife is going to shoot me
This is a true barn find that has been sitting in place for as long as I can remember. Years ago, I was talking to a neighbor about some minor carpentry needed on the farm and was shown this old pickup. Well, it's now mine! It's an F250 '79 Ford pick up! Yo Zeek!!! I found something for the boat anchor! |

Nice! How many miles on the odometer?
A neighbor found something like that years ago. Original paint and interior, engine, trans, etc. Hadn't been run in many years. After he had it flatbedded to his house I told him DO NOT try to start it or even turn it over. I helped him over several days to get it ready to start, and once we got there it fired right up and has been running fine since and not burning oil. |

Those big Ford 6's are torque monsters and run forever. I would clean it up and use it as-is. These were the last of the pre-computer trucks that were pretty much all old-school. Very well built and durable. Worked on many during my mechanic years and they were overbuilt. Nice find!!

Great find. I have a '94 F150 which should be achieving classic status in about 20 years from now.
Those inline six are a very solid motor, although a 390 would certainly fit in nicely. |

I do have a soft spot for FE Ford V8's, though. Especially in '60-'66 Galaxies. |

Looks like the same truck my dad finally sold a couple years ago with <20k miles on the oddmeter. Almost bought it off him but he wanted too much $$$$$. Was a 5.0 motor w/manual trans and showroom condition. Bought a new Silverado instead.

You'll definitely have thousands of miles on her before Zeek even get's his clap trap running.

F250 is a true barn find.
The stone barn is the chit. That 59 is also very very cool. The big barn is the real deal. Nothing but awesomeness all around. |
