And I just realized it's a 3/4 ton chassis. Those have got to be even more rare. Guessing it would have a 400 under that hood? For it's age, it still looks pretty dang good from here.

 

460/c6. On propane. Over all the truck isnt how I would spec it but I want a crew from the 70s so bad I can deal with it. Slowly work at it til Im completely happy. Its in damn good shape. Im not sure if its been cared for & touched up or what.

More pictures if yall want to look. https://jogoodman.smugmug.com/Vehicles/1979-F250-Crew

 

Built in Canada eh? Must not have spent allot of time up there...or at least you would think there would be more body rust if it had been up there that long. Seeing the odometer begs the question...102K or 202k miles I wonder? Or more than that??? And already set-up for propane...as cheap as natural gas/methane is going these days, I wonder if it wouldn't be a bad idea to convert it to CNG? Seems like only the regulator would need to be swapped from what I remember. Does it even have gasoline tanks under the bed?

 

I didnt even thing to look for gas tanks. If I could find a way to compress natural gas I would have a setup. Its cheap here. Three wells within 1 mile or less.

All the crews were built up there. It came from district 52 (Dallas) so my best guess is Texas or southern Arkansas its whole life other than recently. Drip rails & bottom of B pillars are where crews rot out first. 102K or 202k, hell even an even million doesnt bother me.

 

No. Other than driving her thursday and friday in the snow she's been parked. Hadn't really even thought about working on her.

 

One of the friends of my family (after borrowing my truck one weekend) decided he had to have a PowerStroke. I thought he was going to buy something kind of modern...built in the last 15 years. But apparently found a deal on a early '94 extended cab PSD out of Hot Springs. I swear I'm surround by these boat anchor clowns no matter where I go. Guess it could have been worse...could have been a V10.

 

Since no one has said it yet....Happy Birthday Scott! Guess your mile high ponies winning Sunday was an early birthday gift?

 

There's a 2wd early 70s crew with a utility bed and a boat rack in Curtis near Gurdon that has sat forever at an old shop that I've never seen anybody at. I finally passed one day and there was a newer truck sitting there so I stuck my business card on the window and put a note that I wanted to buy the crew cab. Never got a call but the next time I pass, they've got the truck drug outta the weeds and they're driving it. Oh well, surely I'll find one 1 day

 

Looked at another f250 today. '94 2wd turbo IDI / auto 4.10:1



"Good running truck. Just need to use some starting fluid. Back tires go flat in a week or so. Goose neck ball. $1000 if I haul a load of stuff down to greenwood for him."

Hell of a deal..... what do yall think?

 

Is the Lazy-boy part of the deal?????

 

It became part of the deal when he found out I had a rollback. I should put a few things in the car & run down there to him AFTER I snag the truck. Its a solid 50 miles to greenwood. Last time I went to bloomer it was 45minutes. Readjust for being in the rollback, Ive spent a whole day hauling a load of **** for a lazy ****er plus the load/unload time.

 

Looks like Ma Nature is confused again. 70° the last weekend of Jan. I'll take it. Only problem is Micki wants to work in the yard while the weather is nice. Piling up driftwood and burning isn't exactly what I wanted to do today since I have been doing this at work for 3 weeks.

 

Thanks. And yes, that was nice. A win next Sunday will be a better present. Hope they decide to get it for me.
