    Talk me out of this truck

    Early 60, converted 2wd to 4wd with kingpin front, diesel (bit of a dog 92 7.3 idi) needs the rad installed,sitting in front and springs hung in rear. Runs, driven from Nevada to here. Sitting 2 yrs. Owner passes, dad selling, sad story. Has bed and flat bed too(I would keep the flat bed and sell out bed)
    3k
    Would register but use as a farm truck as not to beat my restored ford or new dodge.
    I really don't need but like the look

    Talk me out of this truck

    Absolutely beautiful. I would have no use for a naturally aspirated diesel but I love the truck. Tell him 2k.

    Transmission? Divorced transfer case or?

    A diesel isn't a diesel without a turbo.

    No idea on transfer or tranny. I don't really want to talk him down due to his dead son. They are having a hard time selling due to this. Now they are letting go and offered it to me. I will go look at it next weekend. No turbo is rough but I guess it it a good runner. For a shop truck flatbed, it looks cool. That would make 3 trucks tho, I am now a horder

    Nice looking truck! Great patina, awesome front grille, mean stance, and that sweet wrap around rear window. Looks like a pit bull on steroids.
    It needs a loving home...

    I love that body style. I don't think you'll regret it. One thing about a natural 7.3 is it will literally run indefinitely.

    Talk you out of it??? Sorry, can't do it. I'm a Chevy guy, but that's a tough looking old Ford! I like all the old trucks, no matter what name it wears.

    2 things you can never have enough of in this life:

    1. Trikes

    2. Trucks

    My cousins has a 1st gen cummins, a LB7 Duramax, and a beater Vortec chevy. I own 2 6.5L chevys, one's a winter truck the other's a Beauty Queen.

    If that things got the Ford Highboy divorced TC in it that would be the icing on the fat boy's cake

    It's cool as hell. If you have 3K you don't need, a place to put it and the time to finish it it's a no brainer. It'll look great in your shop.
    It sucks to get old

    it has a nice platform. if your gonna everyday drive it....nah. if your gonna built it up and spend $20,000 on it then buy a newer one. If your gonna not spend $20,000 on it and do it for the heck of it go for it. I would not buy it. I only buy mopar trucks.
