with any luck, this one will be mine soon, then I will post pictures of it up and "this is mine." Gonna try to get the price down, but it's in awesome shape.

Mine is 2wd also but, My Grandpa bought it new in 83 and I grew up in it farming. It was recently handed down to me and I work on it every chance I get. I will never let it go not even for a million.

the bed has a few rust holes here and there but nothing to get upset about. the cab seems pretty good. i havn't pulled up any carpet for fear of what i might find.

more likely than not, the floor is going to have issues, check the frame, then check it again, and once more, frame rot on these trucks can hid itself but for 350, who cares! dang i wish i can find another one for under 500..dang

here's a couple of my bob project. also built new bumpers front and rear.
after the fenders were trimmed, the rear bob filled and the bed painted flat black...never mind my goofy friend looking out the window.
