Well i traded my old ford for a jeep better mileage and more room for family but turned it into a nice off roader but now im down to only one vehicle and my gf drives my jeep to work...so now that i have some extra cash i found an 85 ford f250 on CL for $1200 has only 120,000 miles, 460, 4 speed, and just needs tires(no big deal looking to go 35's). Good deal?

 

I paid 1200 for mine but it needed a little work done...the tires were good so I think it was a good deal. Wouldn't hurt to offer 1K and see what happens though.

 

Nice and ya im gonna try to talk him down a little, especially being i gotta drive 160 miles one way to get it.

 

That is a nice looking truck wonder what other kind of work has been done to it do you think that the guy who painted it liked John Deere would it be easier to read my sentences if I actually broke them up into sentences?

All joking aside, it would be easier to read your posts if you used some more punctuation. I really like that truck, and I would definitely try to talk them down a little. You never know what gremlins are hiding under the rusted body...

 

My bad, been outta, school for awhile, and forgot, to do all, my proof, reading.lol How's that for puncuation

But anyway i'll see if i can get him down to about $1000.

On another note, i found this a few minutes ago and its only about an hour from me...75 ford f250 highboy...better or no?

 

As much as I love our generation of trucks, I would buy the 75. But know what you are getting into (if any non stock to your year changes have been made so you know what you will need for parts when something breaks...)

And don't worry too much about my grammar pickiness. I just like to let people know so others can read and comprehend their posts better. It helps everyone in the long run.

 

"Much truth to that there is, " said Yoda.

 

Contestant: "Pat, I'd like to buy some punctuation and capitalization, please."
Pat Sajak: "I'm sorry, but you can only buy vowels."
Contestant: "Damn!"

 

Got the 75 today for $800 Runs and drives great, have to literally JUMP to get into it

 

A few dents but... Now I guess you'll go over to the 73-79 Forum. Enjoy.

 

I hope I don't regret suggesting one over the other. It's great that you got it, I hope you enjoy it.

Just know that all of these trucks need a little love (and shared knowledge from these forums).


..... And blood sweat and tears make them run even better.

 

Get us some pics too before you switch to the older truck forum. Truckporn is always good.

 

Ya a few dents, but the paint is almost new and has very little rust, but it runs like a top so that makes up for it
Ya i hear you on that...these forums always help me out whenever i get lost.lol And heres a few pics of the beast.

 

Sweet!
