Tailgate nets like that didn’t exist in 1978.

Has it been repainted at some point in its life? Everything on the fire wall was red, hoses all of it. So I would expect it to have good paint.

The Super Swamper Bogger tire didn't come out until 1998.

No one puts a "78 F250 in a container.
Noce truck though.

Fun Fact
1975 MY was the first year for F-150s
Previously F-100 was the half ton Ford pickup
The Feds changed something (like present-day CAFE standards) to prompt Ford to offer the exempted higher GWVR F-150 to sell in that niche. F-100s were discontinued as a model after MY 1983.

Any body from that time knew exactly what color it was. Hard to forget that riding down the road.

How does that happen?
I had an older guy that worked for me in SoCal that had retired from his first career and was doing some consulting on the side to make some extra cash. His son was an engineer with Toshiba.
One Saturday he took me to what he called his “sanctuary “, about a 4 hour drive into the desert. He had 22 shipping containers full of classic cars. His son had almost double that. There were many, many more in neighboring properties- he said anyone big into car collecting in Southern California had property and containers out there. He said he had a ‘69 Riviera and a Chevy luv truck in a container that had not been open since the late 70’s. Half of his collection was all original 60’s era Camaros.
This was about 20 years ago.

That's actually really cool, not to mention a beautiful clean up job

everything is staged and fixed. Nothing in today's society is real and authentic anymore
