Classic Pickup: 1967 F-250 Camper Special - PickupTrucks.com
My uncle had a black 68 Ford truck. That truck sounded evil. I had a lot of memories in that truck my cousin driving sideways on the dirt back roads. I'm a Ford man but I'm still not into this era of Ford trucks. I've said this before but this truck was Ford's GMT-800 rust bucket special. There was a time where not a day would go by that you didn't see one of these with the bedsides bungee corded or roped together. The wheelwells would give from rust and if you didn't have a tailgate like most farmers in our town didn't, the sides would flap in the wind. Break out the bungee cords. Dare I say the 60's and 70's Chevy trucks looked better too. Nice old truck. My dad used to use bailing wire to attach a 4x8 sheet of plywood to the grill of the truck to keep rocks from chipping up everything when he pulled the pickup behind his gravel trucks. People back then drove the hell out of their trucks,they were mostly used for real hard work. and the roads were worse,most were not paved,thats why older cars have softer suspension,to soak up the bumps. Furthermore we didnt have all these machines to help do work for you,you loaded everything by hand,after working hard all day you would just throw crap in any old way. that goes for GM and Dodge trucks even the cars were beat on more so back then.
