Beautiful. Best looking F-Series IMO. What's under the hood, 460?

Do you ever take it off-road? That thing must be really fun to drive.

When off road I don't really need 4 x4 because of that locking rear, it just powers through in 2 wheel, but when the stiff gets thick it nice to through her in 4x4. Tell you the truth a like driving down main st. More because you get a lot of chevy guys just stare, they think their truck is faster but that big block is no sleeper when on full throttle.

Nice! My college roommate had a '78 with a '70 429 with ported and polished heads. Manual trans. I used to drive him to class in it and take it through downtown Chico on the way back. Single 4" exhaust I think it was. Good times.
