This One's Going to the Crusher

That's a old ford, right ? What bout the trailer it's hooked up to ?

67-72 ford, possibly 73 as they sometimes carry the body style of larger vehicles for an additional year.

Before you crush it, check to see what engine is in it, if it is a big block the engine will probably be worth more than the whole truck, 427, 428, 429, 460, were sometimes put in these trucks and fetch a good penny.

Probably 352 or 390, just guessing

Like the dodge pickups 2002 gassers got the new look, diesels did not till 2003. Ford with the 1997/98/99 F250 and chevys 98-99 trucks. Never really understood why they did that.

Take some pics and ill see if I can help id, count the valve cover bolts, that will help at least give and engine class.

I've noticed this myself, my conclusion or opinion is they use the left over panels on the 2500 and 3500 to save money or just use up old stock. I'm talking dodges, I know very little about fords and Chevys

Im a dodge man myself and know all about all the body styles amd years. Makes sense what your sayin. As for the others, I know fords F250 in 1998 looked identicle to the f150. Some did anyway. And in 99 they went to the newer body style. Im guessing that the new style wasnt ready for 1998 model year so they just shoved everything in an F150 body and frame. I think ford is the only one that made their 2500 series looks totally different than the 1500 series, too. Dodge and chev shared and still do share the same body style between the 1500/2500. Ford kept with making them look different still today.

Valve cover bolts....check
Any inscriptions......check
A battery and gas...check

Hmmm...hope there's a key in it.

You can buy a entire key switch with a new key for under 20$, and I'm betting it has the key switch on the dash not the column so it'd be easy to swap out. Or a good old hot wire wouldn't be hard at all to pull off. I have a wide selection of old key switches for just such occasions.
