looking around on good old ebay this evening and saw this animal. thought i would share. maybe someday huh.

Seller failed to disclose that the 460 was swapped in, it was not available with 4WD until 1983.

Seller posted VIN: X36SKFA1023

X36 = F350 4WD Super Cab Pickup.

S = 400 2V

K = Kansas City MO Assembly Plant.

FA1023 = 1979.

 

as always bill thank you. i wish is wasnt messed with be a little nicer that way. the vin checks out though for a true one ton 4x4 bill for that year correct?

 

Correct .. VIN decoded in post 2.

 

Well although it's not perfect it sure is nice. I wonder what his reserve is though.

 

Back seat has some nasty stains on it. One headlight is burned out and the drivers door panel is about junk.
Looks like an engine swap and Jewish overhaul to me. If local to me
and nothing else wrong I may go 5K for it. More like 3500.

 

Regarding the 460, I don't see anywhere that the seller claims the motor to be original, so I don't see the harm. The aftermarket parts all over the engine make it obvious things have been touched anyway.

 

She needs the 460. That truck is a tank. But prolly rides pretty good. I do like it.
