Still think it’s worth a buy especially if you want to convert your truck to 4wd.

I do. The only problem with the whole parting it out is keeping the engine and transmission to put in something else lol.

If the trans isn’t totally wasted, it would pay for your conversion.

True. There's nothing wrong with my zf5 now. That's a definite idea. If I put the other idi in something else I'd probably want an automatic anyway.

I'll be getting it as long as he doesn't scrap it before I scrounge up the money. It's our wedding anniversary today so I'll be spending more money than saving but you know the saying. Happy wife.....

Good news is she truly is very good to me so I can't complain lol!

its got the dually front hubs>buy it!

secret to keeping the Mrs happy is bring it home in the dark and keep it behind the house. if the frame is bad its just a part out, zero chance you will keep it>tell her .

we have 3 acres and as long as its behind the house she is ok and so is the township:cheers::rotflmao

137" wheelbase is cab/chassis, 2wd/4wd same rear axle. narrow spring stance and narrow leafs. will not fit a dually pickup. not worth much , but will fit in a dual wheel cab/chassi right back to 1967, maybe older even........

I've loaded 4 of them onto a scrap load. couldn't sell for $150 even complete.

That's a segway to a hilarious story...

I bought an 86 F150 years ago with plans on restoring it. I had it at the house and she told me I had to get rid of something to get my F350 so it went away. She watched us load it on a trailer. A week later she saw a different truck I had had for several months and said "I thought you got rid of that" to which I replied that was a different one. she said YOU HAD TWO????

LOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOL

That's one for the grandkids right there lmao!

Best part is they were COMPLETELY different trucks, just the same color lol!
