B E A Utiful truck

http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwi/cto/5782666169.html

I'm not gonna lie my parents when they bought our truck we had/have a camper just like that with the seats that would go in the back of that bed. When I was little I thought it was the coolest thing in the world.

Nonetheless enjoy the truck. Oh and this is not my truck

Nice looking truck but I think he is over priced with the interior needing work.

I also would be more impressed with restoration photos

This one isn't far from me:

Ford F150 XLT

Some rust and the engine sounds tired but overall pretty decent condition given its age and location.

Looks good overall but for the cost of a PCV valve and the 5 minutes it takes to put it in, it would be worth the time so it wouldn't have to be mentioned in the ad text body....."twice". Check for more than the PCV on it is all I'm sayin'.

No doubt, the Lacrosse truck has issues beyond a PCV.

Looks like he raised the price. When I posted that link a couple of hours ago it was listed at $1,000 firm. Now he jacked the price up to $1,400.

It's a cryin' shame when tramps like us find a scammer like this. Tramp on Tramp crime. Disgusting to say the very least..Isn't there something in the HoBo rule book about this?

I like this one and he's willing to take offers. I think that's a fair starting point if it's as good as it's represented. No Go for me personally because wifey would shoot me if I drag home another one!

That bed carpet/bench and topper would have to go! It's probably like new underneath depending on how they drilled into the bed and/or bedsides.

My Dad bought a new truck in '85 and immediately put a topper on it. The bed in it remained perfect, but we pulled the topper off some 10+ yrs later and it was rusted bad at the top where the topper people had drilled through and put a bolt in each corner. Dad wouldn't admit to doing that LoL.......
