1974 Ford F250 – Cameron S.

The time was coming close for me to get my driver’s permit, but I didn’t want to have just a normal modern day vehicle. I wanted something to work on, something I could make nice, something I could drive to car shows with my family and something that had a manual transmission. My family is…

1978 Ford F150 – Paul S.

270,000 miles on the clock and still going strong. I’m the second owner of this truck. I bought it back in 1985 for $2,200, and it’s been part of my life ever since. Mechanically it’s still 100%—everything works the way it should. No oil leaks, no smoke, and it still wears its original paint. Over…

1949 Ford F100 – Eddie W.

I learned to drive on my granddaddy’s f1, it always had a special meaning for me. Although, I searched for his truck I couldn’t find it so my son and I built this one in his honor. We spent many happy hours together working on it. Granddaddy’s middle name was Schumpert so we named the…

This truck has an incredible history: manufactured in the United States for the US Air Force, it was later sent to an American military base in Germany. When it left the factory, it was equipped with a 3.7-liter (223 cubic inch) engine, a three-speed column shifter, and a Dana 44 differential. I don’t know exactly…

2001 Ford F250 – Todd W.

My Dad and I restored a couple of our antique tractors several years ago, and this pickup made it possible along with many great memories! Along with pulling a gooseneck flatbed trailer for the tractors, we had a 5th wheel camper and enjoyed camping with the family, not to mention pulling a horse trailer for…

1979 Ford F100 – Jurl S.

I bought this 1979 Ford F100 in 2022. It had been stored under a carport and only had 40,200 actual miles. It’s a beautiful light jade color which is unusual and I have had many comments about the color. I’m 77 years old and have worked hard restoring it and thanks to LMC, it is…
