Looks a nice truck in genuine condition, not far from me. Prices on late sixties early seventies trucks has really come up the last few years with many achieving around the £10 mark. They drive so much nicer than the 50s trucks as well. F250 is a heavier duty truck with stronger axles, stiffer suspension, bigger brakes etc, only thing worth a mention is the ride might be a bit stiffer than a F150.

On a drive in the UK it will rust as fast as you can look at it, unless you spend plenty of time with rust proofing. I used Dinitrol on my '57 Plymouth and it seems to be holding the dreaded rust at bay for now.
