I bought another one







the blue/green one is my 69 F100, 6cyl, 4sp Im the 3rd owner, had it about a year. The beige one I just picked up Sunday for $500,00. 68 F250, 390 4sp. engine only has 15000 since rebuild, came with edelbrock intake and 600 holley. I found in the glove box all the maint records dating back to 1977. Found the bill of sale from when po bought the truck 10 yrs ago and he paid 2400.00 for it. It had been sitting for a yr. So I took a new battery, points, rotor, and 5 gallons of fuel. After 3 squirts of carb cleaner it finally stayed running. Got it home and found it already has power dic brakes on the front.
So, anybody want the green one. Ive got a 03 crown vic front and rear, and an early 80s AOD to go with it.

Truck looks good. Like the patina. Great deal too!

I wish i could find these trucks for what y'all are paying for them... The Houston market is no where close.

Welcome to the double bump club. Keep both if you can swing it.

That's odd.. TX is the truck Mecca. Figure the rule of supply and demand would apply in that market.... must be more demand.

Texans take the "everything's bigger in Texas" to heart when it comes to bump prices!

What's the plan for the new truck?

Arizona market is high priced as well. It's rare to find a bump for under 1500 in any condition. I found one the other day for $300 but Missing the drivetrain.... still contemplating if I want to have 3 or not.... I suppose I could make it complete again, and sell it for a profit. But that takes time, something I don't have much of... haha
