Stumbled on this while digging through Ebay listings;

I saw that the other day and was gonna post it but never did. Looks pretty cool. The front end and bed dont seem to be exactly level. I wonder why they dont say what year f250 they put the body on, unless i missed it.

 

Take a close look at the rear fenders. It looks like the passenger side is mounted low in the back. At first I thought it was an optical illusion, but looking at different pics of both sides, it definitely looks like it droops down about 2" at the rear compared to the driver's side.

 

If they didn't change the chassis parts at all I would say it's probably a 1987. That was the last year of the carbed 351W. And it appears to be a BW-1356 transfercase. And 87 was the first year for the 5spd in the 80+ F250.

So combine the carbed 351W with the 5spd & BW-1356 tc and that leaves just one year. That would be 1987.

That's not saying things weren't swapped out for other parts. And if that was the case then it could be anywhere from 80-97.

 

I wonder what they want for it? Their web site doesn't mention price.
It's a nice looking truck, but the wheels are a bit too wide. Also, it looks like only a skinny person can fit behind the wheel.

They also have a nice looking 51 for sale. Well except for the rims. Pretty price at $25,900

Ran across this dually on Nashville's craigslist. Doesn't strike me as a bad price. Never know until you see it in person.

1948 Ford F3 Dually

 

They give the vin #VIN is 98RV467810CH, I was wondering if it could be a 98 f250?? Looks like a nice truck.

 

Its should have an f in the vin if it was late model f series should it not? That looks similar to the vin for the f6 parts truck i have.

 

Plus a 98 f250 4wd would have a ttb front end

 

I think you mean a 98 wouldn't have a TTB.

Like I said more then likely the chassis is a 1987.

 

Yeah haha Thats what i meant.

 

boy, if only. . . . That would be a nice daily
