most of my truck operations reside in kali. if I was to trailer the chassis out to TX, the cost will go up to $1300 to help cover for fuel expenses.
here's a comparo to the MD truck you are bidding on.....this is what a kali truck looks like underneath.....:eek::eek::D
unfortunately, there's no demand for reg cab trucks out here. So, most of the time, metal like this goes to the crusher. Supercab trucks are more sought after due to the increased interior space.

damn Calvin, thats rusty! LOL


Just yet another reason us Rust Belt-ers hate Cali...... I will take a pic of under my 03 in a bit.........

Here is a couple shots of my 03 Excursion, taken in the last hour.........

I drive it 12 months a year, and is my "Get to work in the Snow" vehicle..... so it does see salt and snow......

Calvin, Did that truck run when you got it? I am concerned about the front axle. I already have a complete truck that needs an engine rebuild anyway and has a rough body plus crappy front axle. This could be a good way to avoid even more time and expense and get a pretty good body to boot. Thanks!

there's nothing wrong with the truck other than it's too small for the owner. he's got two grandkids who needs to sit somewhere and a reg cab isn't going to cut it. I built the motor for him and he rather pay me to to transplant it into a supercab 4x4 than to start all over again.
this is a 3.55 geared truck.

Thanks! Now I have to wrestle with the decision. To drive or not to drive, that is the question.

For what price?

I'll say now $800 obo we can negotiate

Rear end is for sure 3.55LS

Block appears fine, looks like a broken 1 or 2 rod tagged the oil pan. I have extra used rods to include if you want. That's how I got the engine.

Current update, I realized the F-250 might be too small for my needs, anyone out there have an F-350 Reg cab Long Box, preferably in Single rear wheels? Same era though, stick or auto, gas or diesel?
