He must be getting a bit desperate, only 3 days ago up on the Long bend it had $15.5 K painted on back windscreen.

Don't know what sort of donk it's got, but the bod looks far from perfect and even at $14.5 K I would probably be say'n.

"tell im he's dream'n son"

Another strange thing about F100s that I notice is that that they're often a bit wonky.

not so much crabbing, but more like one rear corner is usually lower than the other?

it's like the ladder frame lacks torsional or diagonal strengthening.

Maybe they were just made to flex?

Many years ago I remember there was a Ford add on TV where this F150 has a big landcruiser ute mounted on it's rear tray and it was just powering up a rocky hill. and the whole time you could see the F150 frame flexing like crazy.

I think they may have even said in the add that it was meant to do it.
