73 Ford Custom

I bought a 1973 Ford F350 Custom. Its Dually Flatbed and it has a 300 6 cylinder with a 4 speed trans. The cab has no rust or scratches or dents, but the paint is rusty on the hood and roof. It has a new engine in it with about 500 miles, new clutch and throw out bearing. The brakes have been gone through. The bed had wood running boards and they are completely rotted out, but I have tons of diamond plate sheet metal I was going to weld on. Anyways I already have a 79 F350 460 dually, but for 200 bucks I'd be crazy to not buy it. So how much do you think I could sell it for? I live in Kansas and farmers love these trucks, so theres a good market for them around here. I haven't brought it home yet, so I dont have pictures. YET. I didn't know these f350s came with a 6 cylinder, I assume that's where the "Custom" badge is there for.

"Custom" is just the trim level - it doesn't determine what engine came in the truck. Custom is the "basic" trim level. From there it went up to Ranger, Ranger XLT, and Lariat.

Sounds like you got a great deal and for sure post some pictures. Why sell it? As someone posted on here recently - a friend asked him why he had 2 trucks. His answer: because his garage couldn't hold 5.

I am in Kansas, the farmers around me gave up on the new Fords due to Triton issues, you should be able to sell it easily on the FB group Kansas Farmers/Ranchers Buy/Sell/Trade
