Interesting. Seems to be pretty solid for that amount. I was really expecting a rust bucket.

Looks like the truck I tried to buy when I was 16. Same color and all. It was an F-250 as well, but it has a I6 in it back then.

What part of the country did you find the truck in?

welcome to FTE. That looks like a pretty solid 250. Sure hope you can save the bed it dosesn,t look to bad from the outside. The price wasn,t to bad either. Have fun. Mark

went on vacation so i havent been back to the forum for awhile.

i got really lucky on finding it. i was looking for a number of different types of oldie cars to start on. i was on my way back home from the pueble resivor.(pueblo,colorado-southern colorado) and i happened to see it on the side of the road. my parents saw it to so we pulled over and about 45 min later my dad is bargaining with the guy. and next day its sitting in my driveway.

Well as u could fidure im a lil short on cash. so i cant go full out crazy custom. but i like rat rods better anyway hahah. so thats what ima do. for now i jus gotta do some body work and primer her up. then spend the cash on doin up the interior.
shes goin black. i dont have a welder or plasma cutter of my own yet but il probably have them in the next few months to really get goin on it. ive got lots of ideas for her but not much cash to make it happen but time is all i got so no worries.
thnx guys
