Welcome! What type of truck is that? I have not seen one like that in the states.

Looks like Ford's version of the el Camino! Very cool!

They have a lot of car models down under that we can't get here, both from Ford and GM.

Its a Ford Falcon Ute (Utility). They're not quite as big as your American 'trucks' but they pack some serious horses.

Welcome aboard

I like the engine detail!

Clean, not too low, but still aggressive on the outside
