I look at the stuff for sale on this site every now & then, but don't like it too much. You can't break out just the years of trucks you want to look at, you have to look thru everything.
I guess I am getting old, I remember when the "traditional" way was to run an ad in the newspaper!
I do look at a lot of Craigslist ads.

Depending on where you live, ebay can be a good option, just be sure to set your sale as no shipping, but say in your description that they can arrange for a shipper to come pick it up.
If you are willing to gamble, the trucks I've seen go for the most are those with no reserve, but a long number of days. I personally would probably still need to set a reserve at a little less than the bare minimum I'd need from it.
That's where I bought mine and I watched them on there every day for a year. People buy them from all over. One I wanted in Texas sold to a guy in England. This is a good time of year for it too because a lot of people get on there now to buy Christmas presents.

Depends how nice it is. In my experience craigslist is great for cheaper project vehicles, not restored done ones.

Thanks, everyone. I think I’ll try CL and see how it goes. If it doesn’t get any hits I’ll try something else. It’s a clean project with lots of new parts. (Pics in profile) Just ran out of money and life happened. There’s gotta be someone that wants a clean slate and has the time to finish it.

That’s pretty real. Looks like I have to post 5 threads to make a listing? Really like this forum and don’t want to post a bunch of crap just to unlock that feature. Am I missing something? Is there a way around it?

Well then, read thru some threads give your opinion and help where you can. Basically be an active member on FTE and you should have what you need shortly to post a WTB add. I think it is 5 posts or replies in other threads and not 5 new threads.

Nice, achievement unlocked. lol Finally am able to post but it's saying my vin in invalid. Man, so many hoops. I've tried entering it both ways but it's not working. Looks like I gotta get in touch with the admin folks.
Thanks to everyone who has commented, it's been a big help.

Because of this, I've decoded over 1,000 11 digit VIN's for FTE members since 11/4/2006.
