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...

Sounds reasonable.

The lack of pictures is definitely a red flag. I'm not considering making an offer on this one, I'm just trying to get a better handle on what to watch out for, how to gauge a fair price, etc.Him mentioning one too many peel outs definitely doesn't inspire a lot of confidence, lol.I agree...

Ok thanks, good to know. I'm looking for a 250 anyway, I'm just trying to get a handle on decent general pricing.

Lmao, that seams to be a pretty common craigslist problem. And really, it's that overpriced?

What do you guys think about this?http://atlanta.craigslist.org/sat/cto/4589425445.html

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...

Wow, I knew restoration wasn't a great investment by any means, but jeez! So finding one with as much work already done as possible is clearly the more economical route, by far.60k into your 77!? That's wild. I had no clue that paint alone would cost as much as you paid. Money well spent...

Thank you, and thank you.Lol, why do you prefer the Bumpsides?

Just read through the first one. That's such a great find! In regards to how much money was put into restoring it and how much you actually paid, is it pretty normal to get them for so much less?

I just realized that its you who has the truck of the month. That thing is freakin georgious, man! Pretty close to exactly what I'm wanting.

Thanks for checking it out and for the advice guys. I would never have had a clue about the fuel tank thing, or where all to look for Lariat badges. That def raises possible red flags.I definitely won't keep slightly considering it anymore. Thanks again for the advice, and thank you to...

Thank you :)! I'm pretty positive it's not a good deal, but getting informed opinions would definitely put my "just do it" voice to bed for good, lol.This is what I know is wrong with it.. - they said it shakes a little at highway speed because the lift might. It have been done properly -...

I joined this forum pretty recently, and I have been meaning to do my introduction ever since. So hi. Ok cool, done!Ok, a little more info I guess...I have been in love with 73-79 Ford trucks for a long time, but just recently started actually looking into buying one. I found a 79 f-250...
