Well I thought I would share Pics of my new toy. I traded the 1989 crew cab roller for a motorcycle and traded the motorcycle for this old ford.
The Previous owner spent 6 years on he said the complete motor and drivetrain has been gon thur it just needs cosmetics. Yeah I know wrong grille too. And the interior need the volvo removed

 

rusty but nothing a little money time and effort wont fix. other then that a pretty clean n straight truck. how much was the motorcycle. and how much do you think the truck is worth?.. your best guess

 

I like the older grills better and I've converted my '79 over to the same grill you have.

That's a nice truck you have there. Keep us posted with the progress.

 

That's what i call trading up, sounds like an episode of "Barter Kings", only more realistic, on the show they generally start with something like a leaf blower and trade up to a numbers matching '69 Camaro SS.

 

Yea I am in search of a complete body found a couple. One the old man bought it brand new and It was all original. Then one day he pulled out and someone t-boned him made me sick.I had alot of money tied up in the 1989 ford cummins conversion. That I was building for my wife when I traded it for the bike I had close to $7k-8k in it. I valued the Bike at $3500 and traded even with this guy for it.I can not explain how great this truck runs you would almost say its fuel injected it runs so good. Since then I have installed wheels,new tires and dual exhaust My wife loves it for now its our yard mule LOL To me I guess its worth about $4k
I always like the 79 grille However this 77 style is growing on me.

yea I believe it was a far trade

 

Looks like a clean ol truck. Nice pick up.

 

thanks may be doing a ford raptor theme
