Not if I got there first!

 

[QUOTE=bigwin56f100;13809127]Me three! Wait Ilya i thought you went cold turkey!

 

My couch has a wench! Ooo aaa I take that back she just got up and went to the bathroom !!

 

I never really look at the asking price. I look at total weight of the truck and then figure out scrap value.
1. $400
2. 4000 pounds
3. current car body price/ .07 cents a pound
4. $280 total steel value
5. take every good part off
6. keep what i want
7. sell the rest of the good parts to cover the seed money
8. free parts for me, crush whats left, a new kia for the masses
9. time and gas is donated as its part of my mental health plan

 

And the obvious question not asked yet, is it a script bed?

 

Man I would of bought that immediately just for the miscellaneous parts I need. My doors are gutted, if those doors have decent internal parts keep me in mind.

 

I have a soft spot for 48 F3's so I'm glad you're going to grab this one. Keep us posted with pics and/or video of your rescue efforts. I think if you can break even (or make a few bucks) on the $ spent and help others find some hard to find parts then it's a good thing for all. There's a 51-52 F6 near me and it's killing me watching it rot away. Nothing has come out of that yard in years.

 

Cody, did you really ask this group if you should go buy a truck?????

When you go get it, be sure to have the wench go easy. If the truck comes out too quickly the wench will feel under utilized.

 

Sometimes the wheels are slow to turn so the wench will need to work alittle harder to get it to come.

 

Rather doubt it, as the long running boards suggest it started out as an express.

 

My bad. I didn't notice the long running boards until you pointed that out.

 

Wow. Is this guy really asking this crowd if he should get a truck out of the woods for $400 that is still solid with keys and a title?

Did you drag it home yet? What's the plan?

 

good point about the long boards but it still kind of looks like it could possibly be a script stakebed? guess we will have to wait and see.

Cody, is it your yard yet?
