What do ya think?

I have this 72 camper special xlt. Thinking of getting rid of it. The worst part of the whole truck is that small part behind the rear tire. This tailgate is one of the best I have seen. I put a 460 and C6 in. Gotta thin out the herd. way to many projects. Think it will sell?

I am actually interested in a '72, because that is the year that I was born.

What I look for when I look.
FE 390
Power steering
Power brakes
F100
4x4

The 4x4 is just spice, that will probably not be in my budget.
Power steering and power brakes are a must.
I won't buy a 360 with so many trucks out there.
F100 because wheels and tire for an f250 are limited.

Your truck may or may not sell, I don't know. I see a lot of these around here in good shape and they end up expiring on craigslist even at $3500-$4000. I just dont think there are as many people wanting to wrench on these as there are trucks.

I will get one eventually, but I am waiting for that smoking deal.

Just my thoughts.

I think it will sell if you put it in our "marketplace". Click on it in the black bar across the top of this page.

You do know that 4wd's never came stock with a 390, only 360's.

You do know that the only difference between 360s and 390s are the crankshaft, pistons, and connecting rods?

Considering a 44 year old truck, and I live in Southern California, I would guess that many have been rebuilt to 390s.
