I would love to sport this truck. Still too high of a price. $8,000 is pushing it.

 

here is a nice one somebody should pick up.
1986 F250 4x4 6.9 liter diesel

 

That thing isn't even running nor is it a crew cab or a manual.

 

That crew cab is a gem, the one I posted it a bull nose in nice shape. I go back and forth on weather I would want a bull nose crew cab or a obs.

 

I'd take a crew cab in those genres, even a brick nose, gas or diesel because it would get a diesel of my choice regardless. Gassers are usually a fraction of the cost for the truck as a whole because they're not coveted as such. There's a nice 460 for sale, but with low miles. The 460 is actually a desirable gasser. My stepdad's 460 OBS hauls *****.

 

As far as the truck in the first post goes, yes it is priced high, however if it was about a year or two older with a Power Stroke in that condition and mileage, they would still be asking that price and the IDI is just as good of an engine, so why not. I hope he gets that price for it. More power to him.

 

I had a 460 brick nose crew cab that would move a mountain, but there one of the last 100,000 engines. it very hard to find a runner in a junkyard.

 

That's '97 PS money around here. Nice truck, but that's a boatload of cash. And I have to wonder if there is any rust over the rear arches, as that's common even out here on 20 year old trucks now.

 

If it were a year or two older, it would still be an IDI.... If it were a year or two NEWER, and a PSD, it would be worth $10-12K. IDI may be just as _good_ an engine, but an IDI truck is not _worth_ as much as its PSD counterpart, all other things equal. That's just what the market will bear. It's a sharp truck no question, but as an IDI, it's prob. an $8-10K truck.

+1. Who buys Bushwacker Street Flares, for any purpose other than to cover up present/past rust?

I meant newer. Sorry. Don't know why I typed older. My fault.

 

I've been looking for an OBS cc 4wd auto for a while, but that truck is worth about half of that in Colorado. There are comparable PSD crew cabs for far less everywhere around here.
