So, I listed the '79. No bites until today, a guy sends me 2 emails a half hour apart on it. I send him to my friends house, where the truck is, and he crawls all over it. My buddy calls and asks a couple questions, and I find out he is buying it for the front axle. HP D44. Wants to cut it down, run it on his Jeep with 37's.....HA!!! I told him not to waste his time. He is gonna ask his friend, and get back with me. Kinda bittersweet, I dont wanna sell my truck, but it's just sittin there, doing nothing. I am going back to school, so the money could helpful. Plus, I want to buy a road ready truck. We'll see what happens.....

 

Hello fellow Ford owner. I feel for you on this situation. Just remember if you do sell it, maybe later ,after you graduate from school, you can buy another. Good luck to you.

 

He will take what he wants and then scrap the rest. There is already to many classic trucks going to the scrapper and we need to save as many as we can!

Just my 2 cents

 

How little are you selling your truck for that somebody wants to buy it for just the front HP Dana 44 axle?

 

That is what I was wondering as well. If it is that cheap why now just part it out?

 

Got it on Craigslist for $1000....didnt honestly expect anyone to bite on it. Just figured I would throw it out there to see what kind of offers I could get on it....

1979 Ford F-250 XLT Ranger

 

wish you were closer. 1000 sounds like a great deal.

 

It has its problems, dont get me wrong....but I had/have plans for it. Cab is solid, as is the frame. Wish I could find a bed for it, and could get it runnin, I would drive it.

 

If you want to ship a bed i can get my hands on 2 i believe right now. Maybe 3. Is it an 8 foot or a short bed?

 

wow.....from so-cal? Have any plans to visit long lost family in michigan anytime soon?? LOL

 

Haha. I wish. I wonder what it would cost??????????????

 

I would like to find out, but who ships a 8 foot long 300lb truck bed???

 

Just in process of removing 8ft bed from my 76 f-250. Don't have pics now but will try to post some tomorrow. I live in Shelby Twp, Michigan. After i post pics, if your interested we can talk.

 

NNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

I finally find a bed in Mi, and it's off a Highboy......DAMMIT!!!!!! Bedbolt holes are different, it wont work. I am gonna cry.

 

I thought it was just a matter of welding on some tabs and drilling some bolt holes and you could use a highboy bed. BTW, his maybe a 2wd so not a highboy..........
