What to look for?

theres a 1979 F250 for sale for 700$ 12in lift, its a stick, 351 v8, dana 60s. and also comes with a 400 ford.

Seen this in Michigan drivin back home

talked to the guy on the phone he hasn't drove it in a long time cause its to big for the road. New clutch, told me the tranny is good and the 4x4 is good. Needs some work

What do i need to look for with a truck like this? any problems to look out for? If i did get it i would lower it to a 6in lift

I wouldn't care also! all its goin to be is a winter truck and for playin in the mud I don't care what the people on my block say, they need to get a life if there goin to bitch about this thing sitting outside.

I think i'm goin to get it as long as it runs alright for now, i don't have the money to build another moter. I just got to talk my dad into letting me buy it, my mom doesn't want a old truck like that outside but i don't care whats she says. If they say no i'll prob still buy it LOL i aint driving my car in the winter!
