    Wanted: 80-65 F250 reg cab, 4x4.

    Also, it really got me thinking of the project, not what'd be needed to accomplish the project. :dunno

    Wanted: 80-65 F250 reg cab, 4x4.

    Honest to God, the more I think about it, I might go with that truck you posted, it ain't really much distance difference for me, the plan woulda been the same either way, drive there with with a truck, rent a 'mover'( trailer, dolly, etc.) and tow it back with the truck I brung. The metal you...

    Project Big Red

    I'll admit that I've only been 'half-arsed' paying attention to this thread, but what are you doing as your rust prevention against further degradation and to treat your bare steel again?

    F-350 C&C question.

    Thank you guys, I wasn't sure if maybe the 'beefier' versions like the C&C trucks had them. Like I've said before, I ain't done much wrenching on these trucks, most of my wrenching has been on stuff like my 76 390-4BBL C6 9inch F-150. The truck I was asking about I bought maybe 12-13 years...

    Anyone here go to GovDeals?

    Yeah, the more I think on it, the more I'm liking the idea of maybe going after Towcat's truck. :dunno

    F-350 C&C question.

    You sure? My truck IS NOT a 'standard' F-350, it's a 11,000GVW cab & chassis truck like they would've put a UHaul van body on the back.

    F-350 C&C question.

    I'm wondering if the C&C trucks like my heavy duty F-350 were equipped with the Hydroboost from the factory? I can't get under the hood of mine currently as I bought it with that damned handle in the cab ripped off, one day I'll get around to fixing that. LOL

    Wanted: 80-65 F250 reg cab, 4x4.

    I'm gonna see how things play out with that GovDeals thing, but this might be a good option, thanks Towcat. I saw IDIoit is also selling one, but later model, of course I se that AFTER posting this. :mad: Well, I'll be the first to admit to being an idiot. :rotflmao

    Anyone here go to GovDeals?

    I get that Towcat, but what pisses me off is it's just THAT municipality that I'm seeing an issue with, granted I've not done a 'super concise' search there as I was only looking for that kinda thing, so some Toyota pickup being sold elsewhere ain't my focus.

    94 F250 4WD LB IDI forsale

    I 'might' be interested in this, depending on how other things play out, that's the kinda project I LOVE. :sly

    Wanted: 80-65 F250 reg cab, 4x4.

    Wanted: 80-96 F250 reg cab, 4x4. In case I'm unable to make it work to get that truck I mentioned on the IDI board, I'm interested in one of these, though I could also work with an F150 from the same era. It could be considered 'near dead' and I don't mind as I want to build it as a trail...

    Anyone here go to GovDeals?

    Probably, but that's just rude considering if you default, the site locks and blocks your account already, so, just mean. :backoff

    It's a "help' link after a "Your account is on probation. This client does not allow probation level 1 bidders." message in the bidding info bubble. cookoo

    Not sure about you guys, but I'm not in much position to have $1,000 sitting somewhere that I can't use. :dunno

    Anyone here go to GovDeals?

    I'm not looking at it for being a heavy duty truck, but instead doing a mild-ish trail rig. The rust ain't no problem because I'd be tearing it apart and replacing parts of the body with my own panels. The gasser don't bother me, I''ve have LOTS of gassers, more experience with them than...

    P.S. They could have the plow as partial payment too, it's a 'Western' plow. :dunno

    Anyone here go to GovDeals?

    Anyone here a member of GovDeals, I signed up and wanted to bid on this cool truck: https://www.govdeals.com/index.cfm?fa=Main.Item&itemid=67&acctid=3335 Only to see that this place doesn't accept bids from new members that are still on 'probation', as ALL new members are. If we...

    Stock vs modified

    In my mind-set, it's as follows: If the vehicle is near it came from the factory it's stock. Meaning that if I replace the door or tires, or other parts that are equivalent to stock in form and/or function, then it's stock. If I replace the side mirrors on my parent's 98 Grand Marquis...

    Medium duty general info / buyers guide.

    F-600, F-700, F-800, and F-900 if over 30,000GVW is desired. Many of those trucks that were built for things like 'tree services' and 'forestry' and that were already built with the 4-wheel drive. Thing about those trucks is that depending on how long the wheelbase is, you could make a MONSTER...

    GM 6.5 TD or Ford 7.3 TD

    By the way, this is in the wrong place, the vans you are discussing are 'light duty' as even one tons are 'light duty', medium duty would be like the larger school bus sized vehicles, larger than 'regular cars', but still not a Class 8 'Heavy Duty' truck( think Semi)

    GM 6.5 TD or Ford 7.3 TD

    Could get overly 'ambitious' and buy a Dodge B-series, jack it up, add a full frame, install a D70 -Dana front axle, a D60-or-D70-or-D80 rear axle, and install a 5.9 Cummins from a 1 ton Ram. :rotflmao :rotflmao :rotflmao :rotflmao

    Making the third door an option on an OBS SCLB

    I did more thinking on this and am even more positive it could be done well and pretty easily and inexpensive too, maybe the whole thing as a real project, maybe-even under $2,000. :sly Edit: Paying me and 'putting me up' maybe $3,000-$3,250. ;Really

    Project Big Red

    I was just wondering if it was gonna be a 'metallic' red, because if it was, painting it hanging-up would distort the 'lay' of the flakes and make that hood look strange compared to the fenders; as metallics are supposed-to be painted in the orientation they will be seen in. :dunno I...
