Whoa - I just re-read my post and it sounds BAAAAD. I meant quickly - not in one of those "other" things they try and pass off as trucks

hahaha - naw. I was just joking. But then again in the eyes of many of the diehards here I am "soft".

I've never owned a chebby, but I am open to it. I actually want a 65 nova wagon. I know many here will flame me, but I am open to ANY make or model that catches me eye. It just turns out 90% of the time they're old Ford trucks

I know what you mean, I have 3 tahoes, 1 the wife drives..a great creature comfort safe rig for the family, out performed fords expedition and the other 2 are being assembled into 1 to replaced her high milage 96 w/ a lower milage 97, and then the OLD GM..a 69 GTO conv,,,BUT the FORD scale is overweighted by the 9+ dentsides, the 88 f350 4x4 mason dump and the 05 escape hybrid 4x4, so the GM vehicles behave themselves!

When do you want one? Mine on the supercab isn't great (both rear corners a big mushed) but it is rust free. Plus I'm pretty sure a buddy still has one. If you are serious I can ask

Thank you for posting the pictures. Specs on the truck are an F-350 Ranger XLT. 460-C6, and the diff ratio is 3.31. Truck has additional spring capacity to carry a 12.5 foot camper. Transmission is shot. Other than one piece of missiong trim at the rear on the bottom of the box, truck is complete. I hope someone will find a way to take it home.

Innisfail is an hour north of Calgary, Alberta, north of Montana. As far as I know, there are no problems taking the truck across the border because of it's age.

Crew Rear Door Hinges

Someone correct me if I am wrong...But take a look at these 2 eBay auctions....It sure appears to me...that standard door hinges for a regular cab 67-72...are the same hinges used on the rear doors of a 73-79 crew....may also have been covered before...just an observation...LOL
