I would say they will be there for quite some time, but one never knows with the cost of steel?

So I guess you do not want to know I bought this for $100 and sold it for $400, no eng/xmsn, rusty drip rail and no pass floor pan.

Got in a real bind, and needed a way out, just shoot me.

No xmsn, no problem, you know they are replaceable,lol.

77&79f250 That white crew is nice even though it needs work. I like the original look. I like the wheel caps as well!

Yea I hated to sale it, but you know how that goes. Here is a funny story that goes with unloading it, see the big hole full of water and the mud packed rear bumper?

And the 4 spd xmsn, xfer case and C-6, well when we rolled it off the trailer (deck over goose-neck) the ramp angle was just right for it to gofer hole it, and come to an ABRUPT stop. Unloading all the stuff in the back......and then some.

Not to bad of a ride, I felt like I just got rear ended by a mac truck, then the fact the front seat was NOT bolted in anymore made it all the wilder.

I just bought a 76 crew cab highboy. dana 60 front, divorced t-case, c-6 auto. cab is clean, all door panels in tact and semi clean, and cab is almost rust free.

question though. The rear bench seat is really haggard and not bolted in, and the front seat is pretty beat up.

I have a CLEAN front seat in my current truck which i want to put in the front, can i mount a front bench seat in the rear of the crew cab? i know where i can get another semi decent clean black front seat but will it fit in the back?

yes - the front seat will bolt in the back. The seat itself bolts onto the sliders in front and then the brackets in back.
When I 1st bought my crew the seats had been re-covered and the driver side front was totally worn out again so I swapped the seats front to back. It's pretty easy.

Reply to: sale-mghrs-1944150055@craigslist.org

This is my everyday truck i have done so much to it i kind of hate to see it go but it’s time for a change. Ok so this truck is a rare find and a good price of 8,000 OBO it’s a F250 4x4 four doors. I have done so much to this truck since i started. This truck runs like a new one it has a fresh 460 in it. It has a 3" body lift and is on 35" tires and nice wheels. It has all of the following:
New paint last December
New 460 with about 2000 miles
Good 4 speed tranny
New rear end
Brand new front end
New front and rear end axel seals
New dash pad
New u-joints
New brakes
New steering box
New gages, tack, oil, temp, volt
This truck is very good condition not a dent one anywhere. the only reason for selling is because i am wanting a diesel truck Ford or Dodge only so if you have one of equal value give me a call and tell me what you got call 1 417-592-1488 before 7:30 am and after 3:30 pm thanks.
