hey guys, i found a 78 f150 longbed. 2wd.c6 with a 351m. Needs floorpans but the cab corners arent shot. My question is would you pay $500 for it ? Im going to try to upload a picture. Will need some steering issues fixed just sloppy like most older trucks. It runs and drives. Has new starter and all new brakes.(lines, master cylinder, everything except new proportioning valve)

 

I would if I liked two wheel drive trucks but have not owned a two wheel drive since i was 16.

 

If the bed was good it would be worth $500 right there.

 

All depends on wat you want it for. I just bought a 2wd f150 for $500 a month ago for parts. It ran, had a decent body, and not a real good bed. I ended up parting it out for over $750 so far, which means I got all of the parts I needed for free and more! I still have some of the truck left as well. A buddy and I may be purchasing another one for $500 very soon here.
As '650' said if it has a good bed don't think twice...buy it.

 

Keep this in mind...............It's probably worth around $300 as scrap right now, doesnt take long to start making money on a $500 truck if you are at all creative.........

 

yeah thanks everyone. it has a utility bed on it now so that has to be worth something in scrap. its not what i want (a f250 4x4) but i miss having an older truck to tinker around with.
