Launched in 1972 for the 1973 model year, the sixth generation Ford F Series Truck, retained a revised version of the chassis used in the previous generation For 1973, a new model was offered: The heavy duty F-350 V8. This was a new heavy-duty pickup made with contractors and camping enthusiasts in mind. It rode on a longer wheelbase than an F-100 or F-250 (140 in (3,556 mm) vs. 133 in (3,378 mm)) but had the same overall length.
For the 1975-76 model years, the 6th generation received a mild updated with a split grille design with black accents around the headlights and a refined overall appearance.
A second facelift followed for the final two years of the 6th generation (1978-79). the split grille gave way to a larger single-piece item which no longer incorporated the headlamps, the turn signals, or the FORD lettering. The headlamps were located in housings outboard of the grille, with the turn signal lamps below them. A new chrome-plated ford callout was placed on the hood immediately above the grille. Round headlamps were used on the 1978 Custom trim level; the higher Ranger, Ranger XLT, and Ranger Lariat trim levels had new rectangular headlamps with optional chrome bezels and a chrome grille insert. For 1979, all models used the rectangular headlamps, with bezels available in either black or chrome to match the aluminium grille frame
The F150 was a heavy half ton truck, with a payload of 6050-6500 pounds other weights were the F100 half ton 4550-5700 lbs, F250 three quarter ton 6200-8100lbs, F350 one ton 6000-10,000 lbs

I bought a 2015 F250 in February and it had a really heavy canopy on it that I had no use for. I was so thankful today that I was able to sell it and move it. Even though there were 6 people we ended up using a forklift to move it. And that all came together so well and was a true blessing how it all happened.
Now the canopy is gone, I'm getting it professionally detailed and cleaned. The next step for this truck is to get an aluminum dump box put on it for my business. I'll upload those photos when I get this work done but that will be at least a month from now. Looking forward to that though. I used this truck in February when it snowed and pulled my bobcat with it. It worked so well. It's such a great truck. :D

The canopy had a steak in it that was in a different spot for this F150 so he decided to put the canopy on not completely on his truck and he strapped it down with tie downs. :D
Sadly, it will not fare well.
Around midnight Tuesday night, two young guys, slammed their SUV into my parked F250 in front of our house. They stuck around for a couple minutes, perhaps deciding what to do. Then drove off, as I stood in my front door watching.
Their vehicle, much newer than mine, was substantially damaged in its right rear quarter panel and back end. The investigating officer easily identified the type of vehicle involved, but I doubt that I'[ll learn more about that.
Sadly, every left side body panel on my truck was damaged to the point it would have to be replaced. More to the point, my truck was first hit on the left front tire, at speed, which significantly damaged the suspension, the power steering structure and fluid poured out. Undriveable.
We always have full coverage insurance. Unfortunately, because this truck is a 2005 model, the cost of repair would be higher than the book value of the truck, which equals 'totalled out'. Hence the truck will NOT fare well.
The insurance coverage IS good, though, and will help to get a newer truck as replacement. The memories, though -- the photographic outings to which this truck drove -- will not be replaced with a newer vehicle. Sad.

This F250 is the Harley Davidson edition. It looks quite "lost" between the smaller European cars, but the owner doesn't really has any problems with it and he seems to be pleased with the car, owning it for quite a few years now.
