Ford F250. Deer Isle, Maine.

 from Jonathan Welsh: 
"We spotted this nicely worn F250 in front of the Old Parish House. Perhaps the pastor drives it. This one has the Camper Special option that included extended rearview mirrors, a heavy duty alternator and cooling system, and a wiring harness for campers that fit into a pickup truck's bed.
"This body style debuted for the 1967 model year and helped set the tone for clean, angular, slab-sided trucks that defined the segment for 30 years."
AL: We've found a lot of automotive riches just across the Reach on Deer Isle, including this line-up of Citroëns.
And Jarrod McCable sent us these notes on a F250 of this era, a while back.
