Ehhh, somehow I didn't notice that it's RWD...

Hell ya. I asked for engine and undercarriage pics, Ile post those too if they respond. Def might go after this one if you guys think it looks like a solid buy.

What do you guys think about this one?http://greensboro.craigslist.org/cto/4628391629.html

Wow really, 4 colors? I can't tell, maybe it's because I'm looking on my phone. And the roof is the confederate flag? Lol, jeez... Three of the pictures won't load for me, clearly that and the bed pic are two of them.

Just found this one.http://www.carsforsale.com/used-cars-for-sale/1978-ford-f250-calabasas-ca-228193405

Haha, I was just looking at that truck not 20 minutes ago. It definitely looks pretty decent. I would probably like it a lot more if it we're white, though. I'm not crazy about any solid colors for the dents, but I'm really not diggin the white. The cap is very unique, that's for sure. The...

Ahhhhhh ok, I must have gotten some brain wires crossed somewhere. Still... Just doing minor repairs and diagnosing issues is a big leap. I will feel very accomplished when I can simply look into an engine bay, or under the truck and know half of what I'm looking at lol.Thanks! And thank...

Wow, we definitely do have a ton in common here. I actually have a 4 year old son, and a 2nd son on the way in September. I have always wanted to restore something with each kid for them to have as their first vehicle. It's something I wished I had with my dad, so hopefully they have some...

I definitely believe you on the headache, heartache point! And ya, I have zero tools (save the basics every household should have on hand) and zero mechanical knowledge. I have always wanted to rebuild a truck or a muscle car, but I can definitely see it being something that would quickly turn...

I can only imagine how much he sunk into his if it blows yours out of the water! Wow...That makes a lot of sense about the different margins for restored trucks, and explains why the few specialty custm shops I have looked at list them wayyyy higher than I have seen any private sellers ask...
