The timeline and plans reflect the owner’s original account.
Bill’s dad bought this 1969 Ford new. It worked, went hunting and passed through the hands of Bill, his brother and his dad’s grandson. The truck has stayed connected to the family rather than becoming just another old pickup.
An engine rebuild and wheels and tires were the main changes to a mostly stock Ford. Bill expected his dad’s grandson might be the next keeper. This was the family’s first Ford truck. By the time of his account, there were ten Ford trucks in the family, plus Mustangs.
