At the current price I would think it`s an ok deal but there is 6 days left.
Don`t forget the two taxes, 11%.
I would prefer the XLT upgrade with carpet and a cloth seat, a 302/351 but this one seems in nice condition and it could be the orginal mileage.
Here`s another one and it`s in Sask.

Cheap is right! That's the kind of truck I'd like to get for pulling my trailer, although I'd prefer an F250. Man, I'd be in trouble with my wife if I were to buy that right now.

That red one is sure a nice truck, but I dont think its worth that much. Personally I would get an xlt package, and a v-8, and I would expect to pay almost that much. On the other hand, it is in really really good shape.

The one thing that bothers me about that red one is. Why does it have a brown dash and seats and panels and a white roof panel? Someone has changed the dash I suspect. It looks sharp thou.
The extended cab is alsothe same guy with the gold truck and green interior. I find the storys almost the same. This is starting to sound fishy to me.

Grille is dented in two places, rear bumper is tweaked, will need two new brackets. Left hood hinge off kilter, truck appears to run hot. One picture shows temp guage centered, another pic shows temp guage 3/4 high. Usually, if the temp gauge passes center, it's running hot. It's better than most of the fleabay stuff, tho. A through inspection of the undercarriage is a must before buying it.

Somebody's getting a good deal. Too bad it's not me.

If I were to buy that today, I'd be better off not even coming home from work.

Have you checked other items he has for sale. A 79 4x4 with lift kit and mudders. A 61 Ford country Squire wagon that he thinks has a 428 CJ in it. The wgn looks to have potential. But his prices are a bit high.
The one truck that was damaged, does anyone know how much it went for.
