I'd trade it but that's just me... 1973 Ford F350

That's a tough old highboy there, only goes up in appreciation, that hi-jet only goes down.......

I'm quite certain Ford didn't offer an F-350 4x4 until 1979.

It's pretty sad when the owner of a truck doesn't even know what model he has. Can ANYTHING he says after that be trusted?

It's obvious it's an F250 who cares what the ad "reads".....maybe the dude put 1 ton springs in the rear??? it's still a nice truck.

i was talking about this in another thread. if you are gonna take the time to try and sell something in a paper or online ad, take the time to spell check it and provide decent correct info. anyone with half a brain that's into fords knows that there were no 1ton 4x4's until 1979. this guy put f350 hoping some dumb kid or any other sucker would think, well one tons have dana 60 fronts. it's a small lie, but a lie none the less.

One ton springs does not make it a one ton truck, and neither does a F-350 emblem.

Did you look at the photos? Both front fenders are damaged. Left bedside is damaged. Grille shell is damaged. Trim is missing from left bedside. Right mirror is missing. And that's what we can see.

That doesn't strike me as close to "nice truck" status!

Everything's relative, the dude's trading for a freaking hi-jet for gods sake!

None the less.....Caveat Emptor!
