This 1983 F250 was purchased by Luke Middleton in January 2012 in Eastern Oregon. In its prior life it had been used by a landscaping company, followed by a woman who lived in a camper in the bed for several years, and later as a wood hauler. Although dirty and worn-down the truck was in sound shape and the body had almost no rust. Restoration of the truck became a project and pastime that occupied its new owner for the next six years. A build log is available on the Ford Truck Enthusiast forums.
