OMFG, thats just sick, the steering, the blocks, the camber, where do you start. Hopefully he is just selling the tires and the truck is free for target practice. Anyone notice the hydraulic bottle jacks between the front springs and the frame for some extra lift.

wow, it was 1230 when i saw that truck, but i didn't think i was sleepy enough to miss those jacks, that is unbelievable. for 2200, you could get 4 sets of those tires. mkaybe pull the leaves out, sell them. put the 351 EFI in my bronco II and THEN use the tires......might not bew a bad deal, eh?

what a joke

That truck makes me sick. I would buy it for alot of the parts, wheels, tires, rear axle, and lights, but it would definantly be trailered home... with the seller draging from a chain 10 feet behind.

LMAO! Great find.

> STEERING NEED SOME ATTENTION

Massive toe out in the front and massive toe in for the rear, I bet it has some steering issues

Trussed for strength I bet! More like trussed to keep it from bending back to a U-shape if he hits a speed bump at 5 mph again

Wow, that's a special one.
To his defense, he added that the bottle jacks were there to see how much the chamber was off, and he has since removed them.
But other than that, I wouldn't trust that truck to sit in my yard without falling apart.

I'd like to see how the truck sits without the bottle jacks leveling it out. That truck looks beat to hell and needs a lot of work. Would probably be worth more selling it off in pieces. I feel sorry for that 351.

Those bottle jacks are obviously redneck hydraulics! Why should the city boys have all the fun? The pain is finding a friend willing enough to lean out the cab and jack up his/her side to give you that 3 wheel motion.

You'd think after all that, he would have gone the extra "Custom lift" and gotten rid of the body lift

And is it just me, or does that steering gear look like it used to be an ATV brush guard
