Is it me, or is that frame pretty tweaked. I think $5500.00 is a little rich for a beat up basket case.

Its a Highboy frame that was stretched I think, or thats what is looks like because it doesn't flare out like the non-Highboys do after the cab.

The frame looks correct. I believe the F250 crew 4x4s had the same setup as the highboys-straight all the way back and with the divorced T case.

I agree, $5500 is a little steep for the project.

The frame may look tweaked because there's no body on it and it has all different size tires on it on uneven ground. I'm sure it's just flexed a little.

C'mon guys, you're being too harsh. ...all it needs is a coat of paint and some window seals! He's done all the hard work.

As I keep saying, it's all about the location. $5,500 around here will buy a completely restored truck that's ready to jump in and drive.

Without seeing the cab except for it peeking through a pile of rubble, I'd say it's $1000 pile of parts at best, maybe less in today's economy. There's 100 gomers willing to tear something to pieces for every one who is capable of putting anything back together.

I'm fully capable of rebuilding that truck. I still wouldn't pay that kind of money for that beat up of a truck. Especially if the frame is bent as it appears to be. Running driving crews aren't much more, when they do pop up. $5500.00 plus rebuilding the thing equals a lot of cash.
