55 Ford P/U

[FJRay]

I've been wanting a wing for some time for the wife and I to tour on and being on a small fixed income to only way to get new stuff is to sell old stuff. I thinik I'm willing to off my 55 Ford to fund a wing so I thought I would post here in case one of you wants a nice truck. A few here have seen it and I will get some pics and try to post them. It's a great 20 footer and mechanicaly near new and updated. I would and have driven it anywhere I needed to go . Looking to get 15k out of it. If you have an interest or questions PM me.

It's been brewing for a while but you are a bad influence. I just need you to fund it while I sell the truck cause I already found the bike.

A VERY bad influence he is. Best of luck Ray.

We did it backwards -- bought the Wing when we were still working and the FJR later (on the small fixed income). We haven't done any touring (yet) but my bride loves every minute she spend on the rear throne of the Wing, and especially now with her disability. I can't get her to even sit on the FJR.

Best of success with the sale of the truck and the new Wing.

I've had a couple nibbles on the truck. Hope it goes quick cause MM2 is checking out a wing for me this weekend. I would gladly accept a loan while the truck is on the market.

I took some pictures but I'm to chalenged to post them so if you want them I can email them to you.

Oh that is just too much...Sweet !!!

I remember building a model waaaaay back when of that very truck. I went with Baby blue exterior with Royal blue fender wells, hood and tail gate. The seats

and interior were done 2 tone also. IIRC The model had wood base bottom. Don't suppose the truck bed has the wood ?

What a great looking set of wheels... Classic !

 

[FJRay]

There is wood in the bed but I use it as a truck so I put a piece of 6061 aluminum it it and did a LineX liner. The wheels are the winter wheels with studded tires. The summer wheels are painted to match the truck with hub caps and trim rings.

Just for info, it's powered with a 302 Ford backed by a AOD 4spd auto with a 9" diff with 3:25 gears.

Wow, it looks good. I've always wanted an older truck. I think they have so much more character than new metal. Best of luck selling it. It doesn't appear to have any rust issues either.

Good luck Ray, nice old Ford. I'm sure it will be missed.

 

[101stpathfinder]

I just have to throw in this:





as it is one of my favorite riding tunes.. I just substitute ol '05

Good luck Ray, nice old Ford. I'm sure it will be missed.

I will miss it but I still have a 48 Ford coupe that my dad bought new. Unrestored daily driver

<Bump>

Good luck with the sale Ray. I figured something was going on when the subject came up at Busters!

Gotta a link for that 'wing?!?

[FJRay]

If I could find a link, I wouldn't know how to use this tablet to get it here. I'll look at it.

The Wing is an 03 with 24k, lots of farkles, new tires and a very reasonable price.

Here's a pic from the Ruben Run last fall. Looks and sounds good!
