Vince went looking for an old F-250 and found his 1971. He described roughly 13 years of ownership and summed up one part of its life as a bedroom on wheels.
The Ford wore 36-inch tires on 16.5-inch wheels, a two-inch lift with Burbank Springs, headers, dual exhaust and a Holley four-barrel. He sold it in 1993. Looking back, he wished he had kept it.
