78-79

Hey all! I'd love to have me a 78-79 F-150 4x4. Preferably swb. But would settle for lwb. What are they going for. Decent running one, not a show truck or anything.....but no junk. Like to make it a daily driver. What would....say....4 to 5K get me? Thanks!

Depends where you are. Outside the rust belt, your 4 to 5K will go considerably farther.

I bought the truck in my avatar for $2100 about 3 years ago. It would probably go for more back east simply because it's not eaten up by rust. It IS a swb, however, it's not a 4x4 and those will typically go for more than a 2x4 like mine. I guess it really depends on where you want to hunt for one and the level of patience you have. I wanted one locally (got it 90 miles away from me) and I had nothing, but time.

In Kentucky for 5k you should be able find a nice truck.

Nice IMO for 4K. Front Dana 60 is worth 1K itself. https://evansville.craigslist.org/ct...331580202.html
