Hey, I saw that too....I emailed the guy to see if it came with title. I'd be less inclined for a parts truck - no room for more junk. If it's titled, yeah, that is a good deal on a fixer-upper Ford.

Yea I paid $750 cash for my beater 83 F250 2x4, and it is in pretty sorry shape. Gets me around though. Cost me another $700 a few months later in repairs, but Im still glad I have one that I dont have to worry about getting beat up too much.

beater 6.9IDI pickup

Well, I have no doubt SOMEONE will buy that rig...it is a real low price, even without a title.

I'm sort of in the market for a ford/chevy/dodge pick 'em up truck, dieselized, 4x4, so that I can set it up for biodiesel home-brew.

Tired of paying so much for gas; and my only diesel right now is my '70 Kaiser Jeep 6x6....not so much a daily driver.

Hey, FWIW, if there's an east coast fixer-upper F250/F350 with 6.9/7.3 IDI out there, about 2k or less, I'm all ears.

Crew cab would be a plus....but 4x4 is mandatory. 83-94 vintage......

Could be a DD if you can make cheap homebrew...would cost you less than the gas you're buying now....even at 8mpg. I'd hate to park it at Walmart though

 

[Freight_Train]

ehhh,they ain't that bad to park.Easier to back into a parking spot than pull in forward.At 8-10MPG they ain't the worst mileage trucks you can have.....even though,mine did clock 6MPG on my trip to Peachtree City yesterday....But mine is in travis mode right now......and I did find a fuel leak half way home and another when I got home.....so I might have dumped a lot of fuel.

Hey,You are over on Steel Soldiers ain't ya?If not why not....it is the green iron version of this place.......

Adam Lee from SS..yes

Yes, FT, I'm an SS member as well. Seems like lots of us end up on diesel boards....my other realm of surfage is biodiesel boards. I am really making an honest attempt to wean myself away from using gasoline and just go homebrew biodiesel; reason one is economic (I am a poor county elementary teacher ) and the other is FREEDOM from the gub'ment, the arab oil barons, the american oil barons, and also...I like the recycling aspect.

anyway, I'll be back...gotta eat some dinner. been a long day gettin' stuff done, with no fun time....

ps...in the attached screenshot, my deuce is 4th from left on the top row...

Hi Adamlee,
To bad your on the east coast and I'm in the midwest.

I've got a 1990 f250 extended cab, 4x4, rebuilt automatic tranny about 20k miles ago (done by PO), 214k miles on truck.

New batteries and battery cables, new glow plugs (Beru), new alternator, rear axle seals replaced, new brakes, good tires. Power windows and locks all work. Coolant replaced last year and SCAs added.

The AC doesn't hold freon anymore but it ran cold for a couple of weeks when freon was added last summer.

Starts and runs great but is rusty and dented. All the classic ford rust spots.

I would like to get $2000 because I had to spend so much money making repairs. But would take $1800.

Maybe someone closer to me (St. Paul, MN) would be interested.
