Are the frames different on a f100, f150, or f250. Or is it just suspension? Is the frame on a f250 going to be strounger than a f100? And them all being the same as far as 4x4 and automatic.

Caleb Cook,. How soon do you want/need? Condition? Father/son project Or fully restored turn key? Reliable A to B. I have a reliable A to B. You mentioned 150/250 or Bronco. What is your first choice, truck or bronco?
Send pm if you have questions. Chris

I will keep an eye on this thread, good luck I hope you find one! I will be curious to see what you get and what you pay as I have been wondering what mine is really worth. It's got a crate motor with 11,000 miles and is 100% reliable but rusted to hell.

It only took me two years to find my truck. More than likely you won't find your dream truck unless you can afford E-bay prices and shipping.

Wrong grill insert (its from a bull nose), looks like both side of the truck have been gouged/dented from a side swipe of something.

Rockers corners shot, 73-77 front bumper. Bottom of the doors are shot, I am sure the floor pans are shot, maybe good for Mi standards ? I would be concerned about the cab mounts.
