We built a new house last year. Today I went back to the old house, and brought this old War Horse to the new home.

1979 F-250 Snow Fighter
400 c.i. , 4 in the floor
All numbers matching truck. Owners manual still in the glovebox.

I've owned it for 15 years. Now, I have a shop big enough to do a proper semi-restore. Thinking about January to take the whole body off. Rolling chassis get sand blasted, all new brake system, engine completely overhauled.

I love that. I wish I were closer to help on the project.

Had a F250 a few years newer, 400M also, crew cab. I put almost 200K on it, got a Suburban, my old truck rolled around town for years for a grass cutting business then as a hot shot truck. Then it disappeared for ever. I painted mine silver over white. Got 9 MPG pulling my bass boat or not. Had a F100 before that with the 300 six. Those trucks would run for ever. (y) :giggle:
