I've been looking for a project to take with me out of the prairies as a hobby truck and came upon an add for a pretty clean looking '66(it says '67 in the add, but it clearly isn't) with a 300 straight six, 4 speed gearbox with 2 speed rear. They are only asking 800 or trade, and I was thinking of seeing if they'd want my '98 GMC crew cab for trade. I know brake and chassis parts will be hard to source, but engine parts will be super easy
1967 Ford Custom Cab dump truck - Alberta Collector Cars For Sale - Kijiji Alberta Canada.

Does this look like a good value for the price? BTW, it's a tossup between this and a '40 Ford 3/4 ton, the flathead isn't seized but isn't firing, and since it hasn't been driven since '85 I think the '66 will have less work needed.

 

Looks like a '65 based on the grill. If the truck runs and isn't a rust bucket, it sounds like a good deal. Cool truck.

A toss-up between that freakin' dump truck and a classic '40 Ford truck for a hobby project??

Seriously?? And you really need our opinions?

 

im with oldharley- get the '40.
fix the flattie, put a 5-speed behind it.

turn heads everywhere you go.

 

I would get the dump truck...its unique...and how often do we see one of those at a truck show vs 40-50s trucks...I wish I were closer...LOL...the grille alone is nearly worth the price...as for the trade...LOL...I love it...
