I didn't get a picture of this one because the guy driving it was a big old biker looking guy who was looking at me a little funny across the gas pumps. I saw a pretty well-worked but for the area well-preserved example of a dark blue 83-86 diesel F-350 cab and chassis with an aluminum rollback at a gas station off of Cliff Avenue and I-90 in Sioux Falls, SD. It had stacks and by the sounds of it, no muffler, an N/A 6.9 IDI, and a four-speed. He let 'er talk a little bit and blew a little smoke when getting back on Cliff headed towards 90. It's pretty rare to see a bullnose around those parts any more as pretty well all of them rusted out 10 years ago.

I've got a picture of one I saw not too long ago. I see a lot of 80s trucks around here. The one I got a picture of was a extended cab 6.9 that got converted to a regular cab and a 7.3.
Otherwise besides the ones I see all the time I see mine in the driveway every day.

State law. They can only sell them if they have a rebuilders license.

Is it possible to buy parts off it and then come back and buy the rest? Technically it wouldn't be a complete vehicle.
