My dad bought this 1979 F-250 around 1984 as a bucket of rust and a daily driver. He immediatly replaced the ragged 36" tires and wheels with 38" Gumbo Monster Mudders and 16.5" aluminum Western Wheels. He rebuilt the 351 M and added a couple goodies in the process. We did major cosmetic work and freshened up the motor in 2007 and I use this as a work truck now.
