It's a Lincoln "Ranchero".

A big Lincoln Continental Ranchero was nice, but for more modest tastes, there was the Falcon Ranchero, the first "mini-truck" years before the Japanese mini-trucks. and was availble in 1963 with a 289 and a 4 speed.

Way late to the mini-truck game was Mopar, with offerings in the early 1980s for Dodge and Plymouth. IMG_7895.jpeg.ad044411b0fa952746f129ad4f0f0156.jpeg

1970 F100

I had a 69 and wish I still owned it.

1969 had the same body but an uglier grill, but the 70 - 72 grill fit it so I put a 72 grill on mine.
