How does that make you feel?

v8, 4 spd? miles unknown. Price $1450

Not terrible for the toy I've been searching for. I won't be afraid to beat it up either!

Paint is faded, but I'll be a master paint sprayer after my FSD :D

Needs new driver's side fender, or does it?

Chris, for the record my F100 has the same exact damage on it as that truck, and it's never been wrecked.

As for the "crack", that looks more like wrinkled up window tint or a Christmas decoration than a crack.

Either way, I'm a 7th gen guy, but i'd pass it up. Nothin on that truck even remotely interested me aside from the four wheel drive. Oh yea, and it is NOT an XLT Lariat. It's not even an XLT, or an XL. It's just a plain base model.

Windshield doesn't bother me, nor does the damage from the front.

Not terribly worried about the trim level either.

All I see when I look at it is 4x4.

^^^I agree. If it's simply a woods beater, and not intended on being used as a dd, I'd go for it if I could get in it for under a grand, if not, I'd pass, too many other 'better' beaters for a grand out there.

And a beater she shall be. Not sure if I can get the guy down to a grand or not.

Itll ride rough bein a shortbed and 4wd.

I'm thinking that the swb will help me out with clearance.

My F-Superduty is a rough ride. :D

Okay, I wouldn't touch this thing with a 4378290' pole.

Minimal rust in the usual places. The fender bender was more of a wreck. The front was knocked out of alignment. I hopped in and the interior was a mess of wires. I put my foot on the clutch to start it and the truck started rolling - the parking break didn't work!

It has a miss somewhere. Does sound okay though.

Value: $500. Actual price: $1300.

No thanks!
