78 F350 4x4

LOOK AT WHAT I FOUND ON EBAY http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...DME:L:RTQ:US:1 THIS GUY CLAIMS HE HAS A TITLE THAT SAYS ITS A 78 F350 4X4.. IT WOULD BE THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD IF THATS THE CASE.

I dont think it has a 11 inch lift kit on it. The tires are 37s and i can fit 35s on my 79 F150 with just about 4 inches of lift.

Considering he is in a place called *Liberal*, I'd say he is taking extra liberties stating a falsehood.

someone ask him what the Vin # is.

If it's a 78 theres no way it's a f350 like Milion said the 1st 3 dig of the vin will say f35 or f25 ,but as low as the 77.5 to 79 sit I'm thinking that it probably is about 11 inches of lift Regards

If the title really says '78 then techincally, that truck doesn't have a title to speak of. Or it has a clerical error on the title. Only one wonder how hard it is to clear it up.

Yeah you can really trust a vehicle for sale that has a complete fresh primer job... Including the whole inside of the bed and... The bumper?!

I'm sure plenty of folks have messaged him about the VIN saying it's a 79, but I don't think that'll be getting posted on the comments section of his page...

Claims it's a 78, completly primered, no pics of the engine, no clue what engine, transmission, doesn't say anything about the axles(expecially the D60 Front it suposedly has),gears, anything. I'd be willing to be this one won't sell.... Unless it's to a complete idiot.

Nothing wrong with primer, about half of my truck is just primer. But when it's an apparent rust cover up job for a quick sale, that's a problem (the bumper is a dead giveaway)...
He may have a title with that says 78, but as far as anyone knows, there's a mountain of back reg fees on it too. And MBBFord makes a good point of the unlisted motor and axles.
I like the lift/tire combo, whatever the lift may be, but the whole thing just seems a little shady...
