Well he never mentioned the truck being factory, or modified. Looks like a nice start for a mudder.

Because it has a 400 and it is a 76. It also has a 77 and newer box on it.

On first glance, the 400 didn't appear in trucks until 77, and it has a cruise control steering column.

And coil front, not leafs... It's not even an F250.
EDIT: Although I just noticed it's 8 lug.
It's far from stock, and the guy doesn't even say it is anywhere on the eBay listing...

Nope. I'd really like to see the VIN #.

It is listed as a 74. Look how far the TC shifter is under the seat.
My guess is that it started out as an F350 2wd and a 1/2 ton 44 (converted to 8 lug) was mated to the 2wd coils??? It is a neat conglomeration of parts if it was done right.

Notice how he picks on the guys with bad eye site ?
Just another Frankentruck.
BTW Jason, No such thing as a Cruise control steering column.
Just a cruise control/horn pad.

1) Can't have a Camper Special in 4wd in '74 or '77.
2) Steering column & wheel off a 78/79
3) Box is from a 77/9
4) Frame was 2wd, now 4wd
5) Pic is too dark, but the front axle looks like the pumpkin is on the passenger side
6) Stopped looking, my eyes hurt.
