Found this unicorn on FB lol.

That'd be a good looking rig if it had a useful box length.

 

That is a sharp rig.

you could put a killer slide out tray in the camper top.

 

That truck is within 5 miles of my house if anyone is seriously considering it.

I would be more than happy to go look it over for them and run a Forscan check on it.

 

Would be super duper if you could snag a bunch more pictures of the engine bay and frame, but don't waste a day doing it or anything.

 

I’ve sent a message to the guy. Let’s see if he responds.

I could have sworn that yesterday he was asking $22k, It’s down to $18k now.

 

Yeah I figured the price would drop lol. I'd offer 12k and haggle up to 14k, but ONLY if everything is in good condition.

 

Dont forget that is Canadian dollars. Knock 40% off if you’re paying USD.

He messaged me back but we haven’t set a time up yet for today.

 

Going to go see the truck on Thursday afternoon. I will get some good pictures of the undercarriage and engine compartment.

I am stereotyping but I think he’s an old timer. His message back to me had 2 numbers to call him at. Home has an answering machine. His flip phone does not have voicemail.

 

IMO It’s a sharp truck. I keep thinking it would be even cooler if it had the champagne color along the bottom also, with the light color as an accent down the middle …… like trucks had in the 70’s……. Not sure if any super duties were ever painted that way from the factory

 

I had some free time this morning and messaged about going to see it today.

That is where he keeps it and it was pouring rain.

 

This completely fell off my radar with everything I have going on at home and work.

He dropped the price an additional 2k so it popped up in my messenger.

Scheduled to look at it this afternoon.

 

Just got home from having a look at it.

The body is super clean looking with clear coat intact. Says that it has been carport stored its entire life. Front bumper on both sides was rusted through on the bottom where the tires would throw rocks and dirt.


Frame has some surface/pitting rust.



Box has rust at both sides of wheel lip but only on the back side. Drivers was just starting to show. Passenger side was getting bad.



Bottom lip of tailgate showed signs on the inside but skin was still ok.


It has rails for a 5th wheel installed and is rough at the outside box rails to the point where you can see through the bed, but 6” away it looks mint.



Degas bottle looked crispy but antifreeze smelt good.

Engine is dirty but not disgusting. Oil looked good, recently changed. Fired up in about 2 seconds but he said I was the second person to look at it today. It wasn’t a cold start.





Interior is really clean and didn’t smell funky. Some age/wear cracking in the drivers side seat leather but no tears anywhere.




I rolled up in my truck so he was eager to talk to me.



He’s selling for a buddy that bought it brand new. Stated that there is a leak at the passenger side exhaust manifold.

I asked his bottom $$$. 12kCdn.

 

With that amount of rust I would look REALLY closely at that RH "exhaust manifold leak". It might be a hole rusted through the port.


Dear God......
What a rusty POS. I would send an invoice to the highway department for replacement cost. Every day.

 

That's way too much rust for 12 grand imho. Rare or not, I wouldn't pay more than 6 grand.

Thanks for going and checking it out 👍
