Someone posted a pic on FB of a camping trip back in 1971. They also said there was another CT in the camper. I thought this pic was cool and you just dont see this anymore. My grandfather, at one time, had a Ford pickup just like this one with the same color scheme. I remember driving it when I was around 20yrs or so. Had the bigblock and granny 4speed.

Yes it is kirrbby. They don't make them like that anymore. Bigblocks with real dual exhaust.
I'm not sure, but I think that truck is a 67 F250. Since the hub caps are missing, it looks to have the heavy duty hubs, but is definitely not the 4x4 version. I seem to recall that there were certain pickups with a factory emblem that said, "CAMPER SPECIAL" on them. The truck my grandfather had, also had those type of mirror set ups on it too. I have a VHS video of me driving that truck on a log truck road back in 1990-91. We had used it to fix some fencing on his property. Good times. I miss that man.

View attachment 59435 I wonder if I could install a rack like that on the front of my Honda Odyssey?I’m otherwise ready to head out to the wilderness...only 3 more months...
That would be cool. BTW. Love the neighbors Bronco.

Yeah, that bronco gets plenty of attention from passerby’s. It’s been a lawn ornament for years... my neighbor says he’ll get around to it someday, but I’ve lived here for almost 5 years and the only times he’s touched it is to push it out of the way.

Good eys!!! All I can tell is its a K0. The exhaust tip looks a little off to me, but not sure.

Thats a waste. Needs a cover over it at least. Those old Broncos bring premium dollar around here.

Sorry, I don’t have any ct on the trail pix yet. Coming soon. Been trail riding for a lot of years in one of the most picturesque places in the world. Canadian Rockies, Eastern slopes. Thought I’d share these. That's not my truck stuck in the waterhole. Just a guy with a new truck that got in a little over his head.

1973, my older brother sending it hard. I still ride what is left of this bike today. Motor and assorted parts from that bike. Many bent frames from that one 1970 ct70h motor. I have been a ct70 fruit-loop ever since. Many more pics to come. Real happy to be part of this group!
I wouldn't really call this one a " On the trail pic".lol

Don't know about your state, but Oklahoma outlawed anyone ridding in the bed of a truck. I can see it being wrong out on the highway or high speeds, but I REALLY enjoyed ridding on the tailgate with my cousins and brothers on the back of my grandfather's old Ford pickup. I remember ridding on the wheelwells and holding onto my fishing pole with one hand while holding the camper slot with the other. Going at slow speeds over the bumps was kinda fun. I remember him giving me full access to guns and I would target practice at his pond for hours and had tons of ammo. I remember him finally giving me a Coleman torch to lite my fireworks because I ran out of punks and his cig lighters.lolThe first skateboards I can recall, circa 1964, had those same steel wheels. Somehow, many of us survived them...along with drinking cold water from a garden hose, bicycle riding without helmets, electrical outlets without combination safety locks...etc.
