I stumbled onto a shortbed stepside f150 that has a strait body but the paint is oxidized to the point that surface rust is forming (hood mostly). The motor is not there but everything else is. What would be a decent price to pay for a truck like this? Is there any market for the box (dont see many of those). Im only after the trany, doors and fenders (parts truck). I am told she is asking 1500, how much can I parts the rest out for? Is it worth my time? Oh, its a two wheel drive.

 

I would start at somewhere around 450-500 and go from there


This guy is looking for a short bed stepside for his truck Maverick1978

 

$1,500 for a motorless 2wd parts truck is way too high, where in MT. are you located?

 

Miles city is my home town but Im in Sheridan WY at the present. So Ya'll are saying that the stepside isnt an item of demand? Damn, I thought I found some gold!! LOL.

 

You're on the other side of the state, i have a few parts trucks if you were local.

 

Yeah, MT is a big state to chasing parts in. Never know though, I get in that area once in a while. Thanks

 

sure it is long gone but would love to get a hold of the flareside bed, whole thing.

 

Well, I turned down the deal and didnt purchase it. My son was telling me about it and I never even talked to the lady. After talking with my son more, it turns out (just through the grapevine here) that the lady has a newly rebuilt 300 that goes with it all for $1500. Ive driven by it (its in a fenced yard so I couldnt get too close) but the whole body looks strait. Just surface rust. My son says there is carpet on the dashboard and he thinks its unweathered too. I can get more details if you want? I can even get closer if I can brake away from work for a little while.

 

Any excuse to get away from work, I am there for that. Is there anyway to get pics of the bed, especially the bedside panels, the part that the fender bolts to. MT and WY are a haul for me, east side of virginia, but for the right bed and truck I could do it. Also, any pics of the dash gauges and such would be good.

 

I will see what I can do :-)
