Went to the darkside.
 

I got another truck. Its not a ford but the price was right at 500 bucks. It is a rustbucket 78 C10. I needed an extra set of wheels so I can do some upgrades to old blue. Depending on how the c10 treats me I will either ultimately use it for my junkhauler or part it out and scrap it which will make me a few dollars. The turn signals in the front fenders were busted out. The funny thing is the ones on my 78 econoline I have for a parts donor were perfect bolt on. Maybe if I put enough ford parts on their it will turn out to be a decent truck.:-missingt So whos gonna send donations for my mental therapy so I don't buy any more cheesys?:-X21

Dang, I don't believe I would have told that. SHAME SHAME SHAME on you !!!!!!!!

I was not in a hurry to tell that. I have had it since Thursday. I still make fun of it daily. It has actually not left the yard since I have had it still getting used to the idea.

Shame Shame Shame !!!!!!!

Hey blue, I've got the blazer parts to make the c into a k......well not the xfer case.....

How in the heck can you find a truck for that price and it run...........I gotta get down on my knees

Oh yeah, SHAME, SHAME, SHAME:)

I just stumbled on that one. The cheap price is probably due to rust and bondo. I looked at it as with the good drive train it has I could strip it down and make money then crush it to make more. That took any gamble out of it. I was actually looking for a ford but could not find the deal I was looking for at the moment. When I get up the nerve to start driving it I can beat on it and not feel bad when I break it. I know my old ford could take a lot more abuse and love it but I want to drive it forever.

Sounds like a good find...

I bought a Chevy too. The guy that bought my F-150 loves it and doesn't wanna sell it back! :-X16

Sorry to hear that. My chevy gets parted and scrapped soon. It served its purpose. It was just mainly a cheap truck to get me around while I upgraded blue. I got a spare ford now plus the chevy just dumped coolant in the oil.

Blue, I'm having a hard time keeping up with what u're driving from day to day:)

Me too. but to top it all off when I build the 351 for blue I am tempted to put the 302 I take out in my yota.

That would be way cool

Huuuuuhhhhhh Gasp gasp, cough cough. Oh, wait, you just wanted something to pull with your Ford. Nevermind! 8D

That chevy is parted out and history. All I got left is the engine, tranny and rear slider. I already hauled the carcass to the crusher.:)

Sounds like you came out good on that deal
