Free Truck

[79Supercab]

A couple of weeks ago one of my buddies called me up and said he had a 79 that a renter left at his rent house. He asked me if I wanted it so I asked him how much? He said nothing and he even delivered it for me. It is a pretty clean old truck. It has a tilt column and I have already robbed the bumper and grille and put it on my supercab. I will get pictures of them on the supercab ASAP.

Freeeeee ford!!! aaaahhhhh

 

[Skandocious]

Wow looks like it's in pretty good shape! Nice grab.

Hate to see these end up at the crusher. The seat looks like it is in pretty good shape, it has the Explorer package. It could make a driver without too much trouble but I don't have a title. The trans is shot, 302 with A/C but the compressor is in the bed. Tailgate works on one side but that is an easy fix. Wish it was a shortbed with no rust.

If it was a short bed I would come get it..

Nice looking truck.

Bed looks like it might be trashed...but the cab/doors/fenders look good.

Does it run?

 

[Mil1ion]

what are the last 6 digits of the VIN# ?

 

[79Supercab]

The motor runs but the trans is broke. I took a picture of the VIN but it was fuzzy. Will get the VIN next time I am down that way.

Here on the east coast rust belt, (Virginia) People are trying to get fifteen hundred dollars for a drivable truck in that condition
I think they expect everybody to bend over

Nice score. That truck looks to be in pretty good shape. Lots of good parts left on it.

 

[89frankenford]

nice grab! congrats on that. looks like a pretty decent truck

 

[Psquare75]

Where I am, that truck would GET $1500.

Why not do the title search and get the truck?

 

[brentleedragon]

That is a nice looking truck man, better than my daily driver hah!

You did do a lien sale/get a junk slip on that thing before you started ripping parts off of it... right? Until you get some sort of documentation for the truck, you could possibly get in trouble for having that truck (stolen property) It would be up to you (after you get arrested) to prove that the truck was abandoned, you used every means in your power to contact the former owner, and followed proper procedure for its aquisition. There are laws dealing with how the landlord is supposed to deal with abandoned property, normally giving it away is not how its supposed to work. TX law probably is different from CA, but ignorance is not an excuse.

That looks like a purdy good start for a nice clean ride.

In Texas if you don't have a title its a night mare to get a new one i've been told.

Any know of any free short beds

 

[masterbeavis]

That is why you pay $50 for an out of state title service to get you one.

 

[Fellro]

Many of them are not accepted back into your home state. Iowa doesn't accept the Vegas titles. We do have a process called "bond title" in which you pay a percentage of it's value for the bond, and the original owner has 10 years to make claim to it. After that, clear title.

I will take the tailgate off your hands if its not warped like mine. Any way it looks good i wish i had that kind of luck to find a free ford in that good of shape.
