I've been talking myself out of buying a truck all week, and tonight the Ebay auction ended early, which told me the owner got an offer he couldn't refuse. So, while i'm off the hook, I figured I'd share what it was. The truck was a 78 F250 Supercab, 4x4, Camper Special.....with 64k original miles......no, I'm not kidding. I spoke to the seller at some length, who's a nice guy, but circumstances beyond his control forced him to sell the truck. I wanted to buy it quite badly, but I swore to myself that one way or the other, I was going to get Buford running by this summer. That being the case, I couldn't bring myself to buy this rig.....but I sure wanted to.

I spoke to the owner again tonight, and I was right....he did get an offer on the truck that made him happy, so he ended the auction. I was glad that he got what he wanted, but I'm jealous as hell of the guy that's getting this truck.

Anyway, enjoy!

WOW!!!! That is one clean ride.

Congrats to the new owner, who ever it may be.

 

I can see why you had to talk yourself out of it, that is one nice rig

 

I thought all Supercabs were auto only? This one had a 4 speed manual in it with a 400. How rare would a truck like this be?

 

Nice truck, but i think i would wreck it by driving it

 

There's a guy on another one of my sites with a nice blue/white 78 250 SC 4x4 with NP435 in it. I had a red/white 78 250 with a 435 as well. But you're right, I see a metric boat load more autos than manuals in the 250 sc 4x4's.

 

One nice survivor. I hope the new owner realizes what he has. I wonder what the selling price actually was.

 

if you guys are into clean - have a look at this one too. Not as flashy with all the trim but then again I liked the stripped trucks better personally. Oh - and it's a short bed - which I like better too!
