What model and specs? 1978 MY F250 Supercab Ranger Lariat 4x2 Camper Special with 460ci and C6 3 speed auto. Optioned with AC, PS, Cruise, extendable tow bumper, side toolbox, LSD, quiet exhaust package, tow package and passenger vanity mirror. I know all this because I have the original purchase invoice as it was a 1-owner bought new in 1977 and family selling it as part of the estate. 83,000 miles which the old boy documented in pencil in a journal also included in the cache of documents. 19 hours ago, Troubleshooter said: Deep deep down every man wants a truck! word...my first..just always loved these old things 18 hours ago, KGB said: Congrats.

Have to decide whether to import to Aus or leave it in its homeland after a brief romance. tomo, Peter M, firstone and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wont fit through the doors, and too long anyway. 6.3 meters too big for most garages. Talking to building designer next week. We will start with a garage plan and see what else fits. 6 hours ago, edgy said: Looks like the 'Garage Find SC' caught the same boat! it arrived a bit earlier but yes both are here, my two souvenirs from 3 years in the USA. Because who needs RHD vehicles? That’s just some weird obsession the rest of the country has with sitting in the middle of the road.
