thanks I am looking at getting this truck, will the sheetmetal fit on my f250 4x4 frame, the truck is a texas truck rust free sheet metal and its a 400 that will fit since my truck was a 400 originaly, the seat and inside is cherry. 600 for the truck think its worth it?

Mike thanks for your help, I think this is the best option for a doner. I woul dlike to use the flatbed if i can mod to fit. I dont know the f350 4x4 dual conversion looks nice also.

The thing that sticks out the most to me is the cherry, black Lariat interior! Just that is probably worth the asking price. I'd love to have black Lariat head liner, seat and door panels in my truck.
