I saw a 2004 F150 supercab XLT 2wd for sale on Kijiji, $4000 obo....4.6, auto with 103,000km on it.....Excellent body, bad frame was the deal...It was 5 minutes from my home so I went for a look....Just as stated in the ad - the body was great, the frame was toast...beyond repair.....I bought it for $2000, figured I could find a frame and move everything over or part it out and make some dough....Either way I'm in money because this is a $10,000 truck with a good frame....Wouldn't you know it the first call I made looking for a frame this morning and I score one for $750...I took a 1hr drive to see it at the wrecking yard....MINT....still has the factory paint on it.....I guess I will be driving a very cheap 2004 F150 in the near future......
New brakes on all four corners and good rubber too, nice color matched cap as well...Clean one owner title with no liens - I checked....The owner is a retired railway worker, lives right next to a Prospect bay - salty air....He has learned the value of under coating....He couldn't justify the cost to have a shop replace the frame so I got a smokin' deal because I can do it myself....I figure with odds and ends, unforseen's and taxes I can have it road ready for $5000 tops....I asked him what he wanted for it and $2000 was the number, I figured he was already taking a real beating in the deal so I didn't go in for the kill as usual...I don't need bad Karma chasing me around in my nice truck....Picks to come tomorrow....Now I just need the wifey to stop seeing dollar signs and picture my big grin in the drivers seat...
