gray07 Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 This truck was very rust, thats the reason we ran it, iam surprised no one noticed the bed, its a bed off a 69-72 chevy we bolted on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I really can't imagine how anybody could get so worked up about it. These things are a dime a dozen! Need a door? There are about fifteen of these things at my local junkyard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Wow, those are great reference shots. To recreate such damage you'd have to form (and deform) the panels made out of aluminum foil or very thin metal . . . that would be very cool to replicate. LONG LIVE RUST.

ARTEMIS1759 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I noticed the bed. Saw an 81 here the other day with a closed 67-72 tail gate. I knew the chassis were the same on 4x4s but never thought that would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorvairJim Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Hey Chuck: It would be hard to find any Ford pickups of this vintage for demo derby use because they all rusted away to nothing back in the 1990's! And if you did happen to come across one of 'em, it would fold right up anyhow, as badly weakened as it would be by now... That is, if the engine would hold out long enough for it to make it onto the grid! This bad boy ran off the field under it's own power and it's engine is gonna be reused. You say the Chevy is "ON the field, motionless", but that Ford would have halfway dissolved INTO the field by now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

promo55 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 You put the engine in another Chevy truck, enough said! I like all trucks, but the G.M. trucks are my favorite. The only BIG thing I got against the Fords is that crummy "Twin-I-Beam" front axle. They won't stay in alignment and few people are willing to work on them!

Dingo5162 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 The best thing to happen to anything wearing the Bowtie emblem, that's all they're good for demo vehicles smash the heck out of them to make 'em drive right. Dingo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
