1975 F-250 Crew Cab highboy
Original 360 V8, manual, factory AC and power steering. It's a little beat up and has rust, the interior is fantastic.

I found this sweet baby in a neighbor's barn. I went expecting to find a 90s Ford that I could maybe use interior pieces to use on my 96 F-350. My jaw hit the floor when I walked into the barn and saw this. It was in there for 18-19 years since it apparently had transmission problems. I took a video of us airing up tires, hooking it up, and bringing out of the barn. I'm still working on other projects before starting on this one. Considering making a YouTube series out of the process.


Title issue solved. Many thanks to the amazing and wonderful 1ags.

Title issue - registered owner is deceased. Purchased from the daughter, who is the legal owner. She isn't able to find the title. She went to the title office and was unable to file for a lost title due to it possibly being registered under an obscure llc or ranch name, which was the case with another truck I bought from her. The tax office wouldn't give her the actual name under which it's registered, would only confirm that she didn't have the exact name when she guessed at it. Last license plate number is U1V944. VIN is FZ6YCW24803. If anyone knows where I can get info so we can file for a lost title, I'd appreciate it. If not, I'll be working on a bonded title.

Bonded title.

You'll have to pay a company to supply the bond. 3 year period for an original owner to dispute it (bond company would pay the owner for the truck, if it's ever disputed). In 3 years with no disputes, you go back to the tax office to have the bond requirement removed.

Would love to discover a barn find like that.

email incoming

I know OP said they resolved this issue, but just for future reference, go through filings at the Secretary of State and Comptroller's office -- assuming in Texas. Use equivalent for out of state. For years, Texas has required public information filings and the original LLC/Corp. filings should still be accessible. You can also check DBA records for most counties. There is a DBA listed in Dallas County that I filed in like 1987.

This is to get exact names from that era. If getting the exact name wouldn't have mattered, well, I can't comment further. At least, not off the top of my head.

The nostalgia of the dealership stamped bumper hits hard.
