Well It's time to part ways with big Blue. 1986 CC, Dually.

It went down a few years ago and I have wanted to fix it but the reality is I haven't done it by now so it probably isn't getting done. Truck is complete with the exception that it will need at least a valve job (my best guess) to get it running and would really like the whole engine rebuild. The front end has some damage but I have driven it the way it is for a good four years. Has a new radiator. recent rubber, recent tranny redo (but it has a story that goes with it) I will keep the stereo amps and speakers It has a sleeper cab that was on it that i have in storage.

This thing ran until one day I came home from working and the next day it would not start. I needed a truck that day and went out and bought the best one my credit card could get that afternoon.

The deal is all or nothing. come and get it or I will have to send it to the junk yard. I need the driveway space.

You wouldn't have to ask twice if you were on this side of the continent.

there's some pretty serious hills to deal with out here if one is going to towbar that monster.
I'm on vacation right now, so checking out a company towtruck is out of the question

4x4? What tranny? How about some photos?

I'd love to have a CC F350 4x4 in the '83-'86 body style. But, not going to tow it to Ky. How about pictures? How much to you want? Why do you think it's problem(s) are valve related. Did you take off the valve covers and seen something bad? I've got two 7.3 IDI's, a C6, and an E4OD sitting in Dad's shop if your motor/tranny are toast. What is the "Tranny Story" you mentioned??

Dude, we need pictures!!!

That's a fact. If you were on this side of the MIssissippi, I'd be in route.

im in san diego, so a free truck would be nice when it has all the stuff on it that i am looking for. Also with a truck like this does it cost money to give it to the junkyard? Ive never dealt with anything like this so its pretty interesting to me. With summer coming up im about to have a lot more time on my hands.

let's see 2 days out there 2 days back, 2,700 x 2= 5400 miles divide by 20mpg is 270 gal fuel 4 x 270 = $1080.00 so much for a free truck?

Scrap prices may vary, but here that truck would bring around $550 in scrap metal.

I took in a 77 F-250 4x4 a few weeks ago and it brought about $650, but scrap was a little higher then.

To the original poster: You may want to rethink the "free" thing. Most likely someone will come and get it and haul it to the nearest scrap yard if you just give it away.
