$1,200????? That's nuts. I'm living in the wrong country to have this kind of habit. 1200 wouldn't buy a box here. Nice truck, wish it was mine.

1200.00 was a hell of a great deal.

Nice truck! Do you have any pictures of the inside of the bed? I'd like to see what the inner fenders look like.

What is the width of chassis in the back???? My 77 4wd crew cab was a cab and chassis and has the narrow frame behind the cab, but it also had the in cab fuel tank, I can only guess that either this one has a special aft fuel tank or has the normal width frame behind the cab...be interesting on actually knowing the width??

Had no tank when I got it since it ran on propane I guess the guy removed whatever came with the cab and chassis.. I went and pulled a rear tank out of a 79 f150 only to find it won't fit between the rails.. I have it inside the bed at the moment.. I pulled the rear bumper and remove rear crossmember in hopes of making the tank from my 66 mustang work but it's just a little too wide to slide in between the rails..

Great truck...great price too.

Nice garage and sweet projects. Sometimes it's tough to get motivated (for me anyway) on old school projects when there is a terminator that I can get-in and go.

Great looking truck. I would love to see a pic from the back. I'm having to sell my crew f250 and keep a super cab f350 to pull a 36' fifth wheel and thought about putting duals under it.
