Dad's old 71 F250 Camper Special - Custom has the WA state historical plates on it.. He "refreshed" it a couple of years ago. He bought it brand new in late 1970 in Southern California. Had the old black and yellow CAL plates on it too.. I was around 7 years old then... Wish we had those old plates!



He could not find a green steering wheel.. The original was cracked in several places so he just replaced it with what he could get..
It has the 390 2bbl, auto, power brakes but no power steering...
We used this thing to camp from day one, slide in campers, travel trailers, just sleeping in the bed... Such fun and pretty much why I'm a Ford guy myself.
