| Hey John I’m thinking about staying off the forum for a while. I’ll answer pm’s for an Allis Chalmers IB or a 1976 Ford F-150 4x4 4 speed. It has to have the race track trim. I might even consider a v8WD |

| Hey Thad, I don't think the 'race track' trim was available in '76...it started in 77 I think....but I could be totally wrong about that too...I bet your lookin for a short bed too... |

UMmmm,,,Gulp,,,,what you sayin,,Thad,,??? By Golly,,I'll talk Fords with you to keep you here,,,,, I happen to have my eye on a nice lookin short wide 78 all black with a 460 and auto and,,,and,,,even 4X4,,!! It does have the Race Track trim (top and btm sets) you told me bout once. The owner wants my 84 Bronco II but is playin hard to get on his 78. I think he wants the B-2 a lot more than I want the 78,,tho.  His negatives are the 460 came out of a continental and will need rings or valve guides,, smokes some at startup. Tires are decent but will need replacing soon and the chrome wheels are some rusty. The interior is nice and would only take bout a couple of hours of work to be really nice. If you haven't seen it,,ole Michael'V gots a really nice long wide. Case you hadn't thought of it,I'm postin this bout Fords during the day while ole Shameless is sleepin,,,he gots thet dang sharp poker'er,,,,
