"Best Buy" 1972 Ford F-350 Truck
 ✖  |
Nicole Niemann-Carr, Vaughn, Wash.: “My husband Tony and I love our 1972 Ford Custom F-350 2-ton truck equipped with a 360 hp. gas engine and 4-speed manual transmission. My grandfather bought this truck new equipped with a 12-ft. long dump bed, and now it has more than 110,000 miles on it. The engine wore out 8 years ago and was replaced. The dump bed floor was also replaced, using lumber milled by my dad.
“We operate about 50 acres where we grow grass hay and have a few cattle, pigs and chickens. Our family has used the truck to haul hay, cattle, firewood, and much more over the years.
“I grew up with this truck as a little girl and have a lot of fond memories of it. I remember one summer, when rain threatened to ruin our hay, I was working so hard that as I was stacking a bale I lost my balance and fell right off the bed.
“The truck still runs although not that well, but it doesn’t owe us anything. It makes a rumbling noise that can be heard a half mile away, but I love that sound. The truck originally had a blue cab and red side panels, which was a very patriotic look, but these days Big Blue is so faded that it’s nearly white. Its seats are ripped, its floorboards are covered with tools and baling twine, and it doesn’t always start. But this truck will always have a place on our farm.”
