Hello from Eastern Oregon

OldYeller
Hello, New proud owner of a former Kentucky fire rig, 3rd owner, 1984 F250 351W 24k miles, has a few issues to hammer out, turn signals & fuel gauge a wee bit wonky, but, it is 40 years old after all. I plan on leaving it as is, with a few exceptions, would like to swap out the 19 gal tank for the 38 gal one, and eventually changing the stock no headrest bench for a bench with head rests.

Keep on truck'n, old Ford truck'n

Welcome!  Glad you joined!  

That truck appears to be in excellent condition.  Or, at least the body is.  So shiny and straight.  

Where in eastern Oregon are you located?  I ask because we have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and we can add you with a city or a zip.

It does Look like an old fire-fighters, rescue pickup.

Federal safety yellow, with spotlight and winch bumper in front.

I like it.

Dupont No. 7744, and according to the Kentucky auction information it was supposed to come with a heavy duty wench and wench cover, neither the wench, or winch came with it, and that's ok with me as I don't think the wife would have approved of the wench
