Well i paid $900 for my dentside truck with a sagging box, no interior, and a siezed engine. It did have a 5.8, 6" lift, wide rims and 35's, and much better paint so im ahead of you on those things. Id say go for it, i would put in some lift blocks to run the 35's though, engine should turn them ok.

Yeah, that "F250" emblem on the passenger fender caught my eye... Isn't that for a '73-'76 truck?

Yep, that caught my eye too and that emblem on the fender, and not up on the cowl, I would say it is a 1976. He will have to post the vin so we can have a look at what it is. What I can tell from the pictures, it don't look to hate full.

take it an you could always see how low he would go since it will need some work done to it an then see what he says on the price. but still $900 is a good deal I paid $1,000 for a 74 F250 Crew with no bed & no rear bumper an so-so interior. An I am still trying to get it shipped here waiting on the shipping company to find someone to go get it it is 715 miles away one way. An the current price with this company is $550.
