go or no go, what do you guys think?

[off_road_since_82]

I'm going to go look at it in a few days, the lady is out of town for a while. but my first impression was; honestly I'm not sure. a few red flags but as a first truck I don't think its too bad. what should I be on the look out for? I'm not to familiar with propane conversions... and I'm not too fond of sitting on a hundred gallons of compressed highly flammable gas.

pick that thing up!!! that interior is mint!! and the body aint to bad either from what i can tell from the pics. if anything buy another drivetrain and convert it back to gasoline/diesel whichever, and run it!!!!

great find!!

 

[Truckin4life]

If I found that truck at that pricenear me, it would alreaady be in my driveway

 

[Fordzilla80]

I agree,that body alone is worth that judging by the pics.Interior tone thing we can't see,is the frame,and how she runs.The frame is a big deciding factor,if it's rusted pretty bad,it's a Red Flag.The engine not running,well,that can be taken care of and you'll still have a good truck for cheap.


Who wants to go Truck Huntin' in Hawaii?We could get leid in a Luau on the Beach too!

I would jump on that!! That's a great deal running or not.

yeah I'm from the great white north =) Alberta, Canada.
lets hear it for road salt, gravel and god only knows what else!
not much I can do about it for a few more years though.

In the worst case I have a 75 1 ton dually I can rip the frame out from under... my last attempt at getting it to run I missed a nasty wire and the truck burnt up but the frames fine. a little tweaking and it might work.

I was thinking about a nice little diesel, a cummins or a 7.3

Shaun said something about hawaii but the trucks in alberta canada... I'm effing lost

 

[off_road_since_82]

I dunno were Hawaii came into this, but yeah alberta

 

[Fordzilla80]

Yea,My bad,I'm tired and I saw Kijiji and for some reason thought Hawaii.


I still think we should go to Hawaii and get leid on the beach,trucks or not.

Go for it. That's one solid looking truck. If I were gonna buy it, I'd throw in a new motor. But I'm not one for propane, or 460 cubic inches.

 

[john112deere]

All this talk about "solid"...you guys do see that the supercab panel behind the driver's door is rotted off the bottom 6", right?

Not that it ain't worth $400, but...

The 460 is a true work horse of a motor.

yeah but for the price ya cant beat it, thats as solid of a 400 dollar truck your probably gonna get in canada.

I think I should whip down there and buy it today

Or I should

One thing about propane, the motor will be very clean if it is all they ran it on. It should also have a gas tank, haven't personally seen a true dedicated propane vehicle.

Yeah, but I can't imagine the gas mileage is all that great. I may be alone here, but I can barely afford my 351. Dunno what I'd do without my trusty Ford Tempo.

Try driving my 750

I say go for it, around here you could get your 400.00 back for scrap metal if it doesn't work out, Randy.
