Welcome to FTE. We have a few members of the chapter located on the island.
Feel free to come and join in some of the chat in the monthly b/s thread. You can join the chapter by clicking on the link in my sig. The 77 sounds like a cool project. Once again welcome. |

Hi there Nutty... welcome to the chapter. Do me a favour? Keep an eye out for a 76 or so 4X4 with the 300 six for me.... I can't seem to find one in usable shape...
Thanks from Vancouver. |

Thanks from Vancouver. For sure, i just gotta remember where or who i was talking to recently cause there was one around here for $1000 and it was pretty mint. i like more power than the 6 puts out so i let it pass, but i'll try to dig somethin up for ya anyhow. |

Welcome to the chapter Nutty.

Thanks Zip... those prices seem to be quite high... also, not much info (on the engines) for several of the trucks. I have a running 76 F250 2X4 which I am told is worth absolutely nothing... so I would think a 4X4 version would be worth maybe $500-1000. A really nice Highboy, perhaps $1500-2000 max. Guess I'm doomed to buy something smaller and much less 'manly'.
Cheers Mr. Fixit |
Thanks Nutty! It's funny how things go, but if you could remember who/where you saw the truck, I'd appreciate it. My 76 F250 with the 460 is way too powerful for my needs (it gets maybe 4-5 mpg). The "big" six with a 4 spd would be ideal for me.
Cheers and thanks again. Mr. Fixit in Vancouver |
What kind of shape is your 76 in?
|
It's a low miles Camper Special (460/C6) that I got for $100. She's very rusty - floorboards gone and driver's side cab mount non-existant.
I've driven her exactly 250 kilometers in 2 years. The problem is that the gravel/muddy roads are sometimes not passable with rear drive only, so I need a 4X4. I don't want to highjack this thread anymore! |
LOL, i dont care about hijacking the thread we are all talkin trucks here so its good:-D
