I know that it is 1970 Ford truck but not sure regarding model.
Is it possible to find a parts for this truck? Looks like on mine needs at least a new head gasket.
Looks like this one runs on propane.
Looking for an advice before making an offer for https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/499892506044156.

It does not appear to be road-worthy, at least for anything over 25 MPH.
It is similar to the other truck but we don't know enough about it. Big difference would be single axle, and propane. Those two alone spell large practical differences.
Propane is a pita as you will have a tough time finding a vehicle fueling station unless you plan and research ahead for any trip you plan.
Parts.
Engine, transmission and axle parts. Yes, with increasing effort as you move from engine to axle.
Body--no, all salvage
Interior of cab--some minor interchange with same era pickups, but otherwise salvage.
Chassis and suspension--salvage
Brakes--shoes, cylinders and hardware are available, drums not so much.
My biased opinion: I would only buy that truck if I already had one just like that was a runner and this one had usable parts that I needed.
They are the same LN body style with the short hood
The big square fuel tank under the passenger door indicates to me that the propane tank is for home made camper, also notice the exhaust stack sticking up from the camper indicating some type of propane heating system
Everything about that photo tells me that rig has been setting for a considerable length of time and should be looked at as a non runner parts vehicle
The possible cost of removing that one from its present location could far outweigh the benefit of available parts
With that front over hang being supported by the cab at the original hood latch location I’d want to remove the overhand and not risk it breaking off causing damage to the cab and hood
