Walter went looking for a Ford with an eight-foot bed and bought his 1967 truck in 2025. Getting it home was the first job it gave him.
The story
He collected it in a severe rainstorm. Walter says its condition was much worse than the seller had described. It kept stalling, the steering was loose and the defroster did not work.
He had to keep wiping the inside of the windshield during a drive he calls terrifying. He had never been so happy to get home.
The truck
Since then, Walter has fitted HEI ignition, worked on all the brakes, rebuilt the rear axle, replaced the driveshaft and bearings, and added a new exhaust.
What comes next
The starting plan is restoration and local car shows. A Mercury-style Highboy conversion has caught his eye, but he has not decided whether to go that far. First comes bringing this Ford back into shape.
