Nice find Jacob! What are they asking for it? Maybe another member can go check it out for you.

Not sure, I posted a WTB ad over on the nation and a member over there said he had on that might be going up for sale soon. I sent the member a PM and he hasn't got back to me yet. I really hope it works out.

Where I live in Ga it's a dry county where GA,NC and Tenn meet.Until recently if you wanted whiskey you went to NC or a longer drive to Tenn.
If you wanted beer you had to drive south to the next county in Ga or Tenn.On Sunday you had to drive to Tenn

There are a couple of towns here in MA that are dry. If you go into a restaurant you can only get a glass of wine or beer, and that is only if you are having a meal. Wellsley is one of them IIRC.

In FL you can buy beer anywhere. You go to a local corner gas station and they have beer right next to Coca Cola!

Gotta run out for a few. I catch up with you all later.

I had an 88 F350 Dually with that same driveline. CC & RWD only (can't say 2WD with a Dually!!) but it was an awesome rig. Bought it for $2700 and sold it for $3500 with new tires, so pretty much a wash, but it got me hooked on duallies.

That is wrong in so many ways. Maybe something is being lost in translation.




BTW, it would have to be a long strap to reach the stubby from the neck

Jacob is in Wisconson and the truck is 200 miles from St Louis not from him. Must be close to a 400 mile drive for him
