Wanted one, getting two!!

I am buying a '79 F-250. It has a 400 in it, which I had plans to rebuild. A friend just contacted me with an offer i can't refuse....Her '73 F-350scs for $500. Mint body, with the exception of the bed floor, crate 460 w/50 or so miles on it... Gonna part it out, so if anyone wants this truck before i do so, tell me now. here is the Craigslist ad.
1973 Ford F-350 new Jasper 460

only thing i need to do is find someone that will trade me beds....I hate the scs bed. Personal opinion, but i dont like the toolbox in the side of the bed. Wanna find someone that will trade a normal bed for the one with a toolbox.

Don't you feel the least bit guilty on trying to turn that $500 it $2000 on your own friend? Just Kidding!! Sweet deal. Let us know if you end up parting it out!
