good deal?

I just come across a 79 F-250 Ranger, well it has 460 and a c-6 and a 205?? its kinda rusty and comes with an extra bed. The guy only wants 400 bucks for it. so is it a good deal or no?

$400 is a good price for any running 4x4 truck, in country where 4WD is commonly needed.

I'd say if it runs and the rust isn't so bad that you won't have a body...yes...$400 sounds good.

This roach is $800, just to put things in perspective. He probably will get close to it.

Good deal, you could part it out and make more than the original investment.

yeah, people love 460s.. if the motor has no serious problems you could probably get $400 just for it. A good running C6 will net you a couple hundred.

any pretty complete truck under $500 and you should be able to make $$. At least that has been my experience. As has been said the 460/c6 is a desirable combo. The 205 will sell for sure and the bed(s) as well. I'd buy it.

I usually pick up a cheap parts truck and snag the parts I want/need, then sell the rest of the stuff for profit. I get the parts I want for free and even get paid a little for my time investment...
