Sold for $62,000. Healthy price for a refurbished (restomod?) with 82k on the clock.

That is a VERY healthy price. Interesting that it has a Bullnose steering wheel on it. And I wonder why they bothered to go with the Chevy transmission? The ZF5 has a slightly lower 1st gear and overdrive, but otherwise they are closely matched. Why go to the trouble of adapting?

I'm curious as to what you're referring to, as the 78-79 F-Series trucks came with that steering wheel and horn pad from the factory.

I wasn't aware that the 78 & 79 trucks used the same one.
