I am new to the forum and I joined a week ago when I started looking at getting my new(to me) truck. I picked up an 87 F350 extended cab, long bed, 4x4 with independent front suspension, auto, diesel. It has the ATS turbo kit and Gear Vendors Overdrive. Its been sitting for a year except for about 5 months ago when the guy i got it from drove it to his house for parts. He had a newer crew cab with less miles that was given to him after a theft recovery. After he finished swapping parts, mine now has a busted up column and no front seats or door locks and the beat up bed from the other truck. My truck was in a slight accident where a car rear-ended it and it struck a car in front of it. The insurance totaled it and the old guy bought it back and drove it for a year till the inspection and registration ran out. I don't understand why they totaled it the front bumper was a little bent and the bed had a very small dent.
Now the good part. I only gave a 7" grinder, a 3hp sears edger, a subwoofer in a box with an amp and capacitor, and $50. The rough value of the items I traded him was $350 - $400 tops.
Anyways, in the coming weeks and months I will likely be posting pictures of stuff to figure out what some things are and get general info.
Almost forgot, I have a friend that works with title suff(?), and he offered to run the VIN for me. His two sources confirm that the accident in 07 was the only one and that the title lists it as a 3/4 ton. Apparently it was possible to order an F250 with the F350 rear suspension and badging. His two sources list different mileage for it though. One says 198,000 and the other says 87,000, and the odometer reads 87,000.
Thats about it.
