Thumbs up Need some help! Is 800 too much?

I'm currently restoring a 1970 bump and my transmission source fell through… back to square one, need to find a c4 to rebuild to bolt up to the rebuilt 302. A guy i work with has a 66 step side (i know thats a chevy term but can't recall what ford called them) he said he will let it go for 800. It seems to be a solid complete truck with only minor rust (have only seen it through a fence) It has the c4 i need for the 70 and he won't part it out. I figure what the hell, it will be the next project. Is 800 a fair price? I know pictures would be helpful, I should have some tomorrow as i will be able to get through the gate. It has been sitting for a couple years. the guy says all it needs is a carb and it will run. obviously having been parked for years it will take more than that. Any info would be greatly appreciated as i am completely clueless when it comes to trucks of this generation. Thanks in advance!

$800 for a good solid truck is a fair price here in Oregon. What engine is in the 66? If it is a 352; it will not be a C4 but a COM, that is if it is original.
Flareside is the Ford tern for the bed.

Could we see some pictures? Here is how.


But I got ta say becoming a supporter is the fastest and easiest way to post pics right from
your whatever pad/cell thing or home computer.
Few of us look in the users Gallery or album as you can see by your recent visitors.

It seems awkward, but whenever you "insert a picture" to one of these threads, the forum is looking for the picture somewhere on the web (which is always available) rather than from somewhere on your hard drive (which isn't always available).

Go to Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket and sign up for a free account. Then create an album for your truck. Upload any pics you want to post on FTE to that album. Have this album open on your computer when you want to post pics on FTE.

While you're making a post on FTE, select the pic you want to post from your Photobucket album. When the large version of the pic is open, right mouse click on it and select "View Image Info". The image info will be highlighted and will look something like this:
The best photos and videos | Photobucket

Copy that highlighted info (right click / copy).

When you have the spot in your post where you want the pic to be placed, select the "Insert Image" icon at the top of the post (looks like a mountain) and paste (right click / paste) the image info you copied in the highlighted box (just shows "http://" when it opens).

Your pic will be placed in the post.

Hope that helps.

Here's a tutorial Bob put together: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/67...-pictures.html Bob's link is not working. Can someone in the know tell me why?

How to upload pictures to the FTE Forums. - YouTube. Thanks Sam Rusty_Old_F250. Best we can find is that this video was done by Gundown64
