1976 Ford F-150 (very nice condition)

This was filmed Saturday June 6, 2009 at the Fleetwood Country Cruize in London, Ontario Canada

1976 Ford F-150

very nice example of the 73-79 Ford F-series generation, you can tell its a '76 since this was the first year for this grille insert compared to the '73-'75 trucks, also '76 was the last year for the exposed fuel filler cap, in '77 Ford would introduce a conventional gas lid door like most cars had, also the clear turn signal lights where clear up to mid year in '76 as Ford had a running change to the amber lens, but as far as i was told by the owner of this truck, he is the only owner, thus it shouldn't be messed with too much, and since he pulled a 5th wheel trailer, the tailgate stayed off the truck and remained in great shape, (just like the tailgate i got, mine i found was stored away because of a camper in the bed of its truck it came off of) also inside the bed was dent free! since it didn't see much regular bed duty, the 5th wheel saved this bed for sure! overall this is a nice truck, and i told him its the first 73-79 Ford truck i have ever seen at a car show! so i said come back next year for sure! and maybe my truck will be here! then we can have at least 2 at the big show! makes ya wonder when there are more Deloreans and other rare cars at the show then such a common vehicle like a old 70s pickup truck..... so many where destroyed, or are in rough shape from wear and rust, thus maybe some day trucks like these may be more collectible!

Beautiful truck, Brent! I do like the contrast with the painted grille....red and black is a favorite combination for me! Great job filming! :) Jack

ya i don't mind the plastic inserts painted black, but the aluminum grille should be shiny like chrome! not red! but alas it doesn't look too bad, also i think it was painted to avoid hard work of using oven cleaner to take off the anodized coating, then of course lots of wet sanding! i did my grille that way! went as fine as 2500 with the wet sand paper, i might still go up to 3000 and it sure makes a mess with the water, my hands where aluminized after i was done each session of sanding!

also thanks for the comment! also i had to replace my old Kodak V803 digital camera last Friday, since the smoke must have damaged it since it won't even turn on, thus the insurance company will be replacing it, i got its replacement on Friday, its a Kodak M1033, the bonus is its a 10MB vs. my 2 year old camera that had 8MP, also this camera has HD video and pictures! so my video quality will be going up in the next updates on the truck! and any other "new" video, so that is a bonus i guess

Hey, Brent! Well, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade...that's nice that you can get a great replacement! I'm glad for you!  :) Jack
