The Dentsdes we find for sale - post them here

Maybe it is full time 4wd, they did have that back then you know.

That's the first thing I thought about too, Scott. I've never seen a closed-end center cap that fit over a lockout anyway - too short. I had closed-end caps on one of my full-timers.

I wonder if they're willing to finance somebody on something like that, since that would generally be the biggest obstacle - tough to get loans for that much money for an old truck.

70,000 hours labor? I think probably not! That would be like a 10-man crew working 40 hour weeks for about 3 1/2 years - EACH! Doubtful.

Would I like to have the truck? Of course!

Scott, looking forward to some progress pics.

Also, what is everyone's opinion on those smaller mirrors on that truck. I've thought about going with those on mine, just because I don't have much space in my Garage and the larger ones stick out much further. I like the look of the larger ones better though.

I actually like the look of the smaller mirrors, Buck, but my old eyes need all the help they can get, so my rig is getting the larger ones back - plus the holes are already there!

DON'T DO IT BUCK...I think those smaller mirrors look horrible. Personally, I like the big ol' guady mirrors on Red the best. But the mirrors I have on Thunder and the Bronco come in a close second, and you can fold them in if space really is that tight.

I bought this truck and owned it at one time. I bought it from another member at the other site.After redoing the cables,battery, and the whole brake system from the power brake booster down to the emergency brakes which I couldn't get to work. I would never re buy this truck and would would advise people to stay away from it it has a cracked frame on the right side behind the frame.

Hey Cliff...now I feel kinda ripped off. The guy is selling that truck on cb4x4 for $750. In his CL ad, he only wanted $400 for it. He said he bought it from a guy named Doc last year. I wanna ask him about the frame since he failed to mention anything about it, but he's a 'big guy' over there, and I've only been there a few weeks. You got anymore details about the cracked frame so I can bring it up...I figure if I piss this guy off, I can just add another banning to the list...hahaha.

Doc won't tell you anything, He won't talk to anybody who is friends with Tony(Tanman) He is also the type to buy something cheap and sell it for double what he paid for it.I have seen 2 Dentside Broncos that he butchered to put 38 Super Swampers on drive them a few time and resell them. So you can PM him about it but I don't know how much he will tell you. Tony emailed the guy about the truck he told Tony he fixed the frame but didn't say how or what he did.I don't spend much time there.

The market must be recovering some...people aren't just unloading their rigs anymore...we're heading back into the 'this thing's made of gold' days again

It's a nice $3500 truck...too bad the opening bid is 2k over that:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1977....c0.m245&_trkparms=72:317|65:12|39:1|240:1309

Looks great, but I bet someone is pushing the bid:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1977....c0.m245&_trkparms=72:317|65:12|39:1|240:1318

Again...looks good, but c'mon 11k opening bid...and are aircraft mechanics any better than automotive mechanics at resotring AUTOMOTIVES?:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Rest....c0.m245&_trkparms=72:317|65:12|39:1|240:1318

Oddly enough, I like it...usually not a fan of yellow. Depending on the reserve, this could be a good buy:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1978....c0.m245&_trkparms=72:317|65:12|39:1|240:1318

There's definitely someone pushing these bids...and the reserve isn't even met yet at 9k:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1978....c0.m245&_trkparms=72:317|65:12|39:1|240:1308

OOOOO...it's back up again...looooove the color combo, definitely gonna have to do mine that way:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1978....c0.m245&_trkparms=72:317|65:12|39:1|240:1318


Any takers on what his truck will shoot up to, and when he'll close the auction? It's at $4450 right now with a day and 16 hours to go:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1975....c0.m245&_trkparms=72:317|65:12|39:1|240:1308

Glad he lowered his reserve 2k...but he'll be reeeeeeeally disappointed when he realizes he's got a 4k truck max:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1978....c0.m245&_trkparms=72:317|65:12|39:1|240:1318

Is this a result of a good truck in the rust belt...or behind the scenes bidders???:

Everytime I look at Broncos for sell, makes me want one even more. But, that is out of the question since my wife wants a Mustang someday. She wants a mid 60s coupe. Maybe I can talk her into a 70s Mach I. Sorry to get off topic. But, I do love the Broncos.

I dunno...kinda just looks faded to me, or a lighter stock shade.

Oh c'mon Buck...a driver quality Bronco won't run you more than 3k...tell her you need it as your DD...so she can use the expy as her DD when her stang comes along...hahaha.

Here's a nice lookin 76 CC. Funny...I never knew '76 was the last year for the highboy, nor did I know 76 was the ONLY year that high boys had 460's and D60's up front...hahahaa

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1976....c0.m245&_trkparms=72:317|65:12|39:1|240:1308


I still like this truck...always wanted to do a dent in a similar paint scheme and have a 'Boss' dentside:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1976....c0.m245&_trkparms=72:317|65:12|39:1|240:1318



Hmmm...never knew they made a 3/4 ton 150...haha. Looks good though, not at that price. And look Tex, it's a shortbed:

The best thing about that truck is.......the totally sick and nasty 400 it has.

Yep, he even went through the trouble of getting adaptors so he could use a 351c intake.

Yeah...I think that's what I liked best...those alone can run you $275-450.
