Dad bought this about 40 years ago. It was our farm truck for a while, until the block cracked hauling hay. It's the first thing I drove by myself when I was 5, in the hay fields.   I'll soon have a '97 F450 Super Duty with a 7.3, might build something after the TJ is done. ;D |

I don't see anything ugly about that... that's great looking. Would look beautiful with a two tone paint job.

I've always loved COE's, be awesome to find a Dodge one! It has a newer grill, should be oval like this one.  |

I'm ok with the newer grill... the old one has that "smile like a donut" look.  Bill |

The oval grill is highly sought after, may be the most popular model to rebuild. Kinda deemed the 'best looking' out of all the COE's by enthusiasts. Ford at least. Man the IH's were hideous compared to these Fords. haha  |
