Picked this little Gem up for a whopping 300 bucks....tried to get a tow company to tow it for me....big run around....said screw it....took stuff with me....it started right up with a new battery and a carburetor prime....added a quart of ATF to the trans and a quart of ATF to the Power steering and drove it home!!!

First 3 pics are where it was when I got it...next ones are after it was home.












After it was home...loading my Cummins in the back of it

 

Good looking truck for $300.

The paint is different. I have never seen a hood painted like that.

 

Nice truck, pop up a couple of pics of that wrecker in behind it! I'd love to see that to.

 

Sweet find! 300 bucks for a running dent is a killer deal

 

Dang, don't take it personally, but I kinda hate you right now...

 

What are your plans for it??

 

I'll give you $500 for the bed right now. I'll leave friday to come and get it...

 

Originally I was looking at it cuz a friend told me he needed a truck...then at the last minute said he had no money....so i went and looked at it...made the deal and bought it anyway....the bed has a little rust on only one wheel well...i have a 79 F-150 4x4....that the body isn't all that great...so it may donor it's body to that truck....and I may put the other body back on that frame and sell the truck. Who knows...my projects always tend to change direction a lot....there was a kid on here a while back that had a rust free bed in Missouri...but it wasn't cost effective enough for me to do it...he may possibly still have it. I can check and let u know...PM me your email.

 

Tow Truck pic...Not the best one...but you get the idea!!! AND the one hanging on the back just so happens to be my 1979 F-350 4x4...and yes...it DOES have Dana 60's front and rear....and before anyone asks...No It's NOT for sale!! I only paid 500 for it...and it runs and drives as well...but it was an old farm truck..so body is shot.

 

whats the spec's on the tow truck? looks like a cool old truck..

Sweet pic! Thx, I plan on doin a build with my 2wd that involves a boom and big hook... Not sure if I want to do a full wrecker but I like your ol'girl!

 

How come you didnt just use your tow truck to tow it?

 

Little too far away...I don't trust going that far with it....it needs a lot of TLC....and on top of that...it's not insured right now. I mainly use it around the property to move my projects as I work on em.

 

300 bucks! Man that is a nice find.

 

Crazy thing is....I'm usually not looking for a truck when I find it...it falls into my lap most of the time...LOL
