I just fell in love

With this truck on eBay

Not crazy about the golden/tan accents or interior, but if I had the money and space, I'd have bought this thing in a heartbeat.

If it was blue with silver over grey, I'd sign away my firstborn to buy it.

look at the bumpers and toolbox.... Wow!

Alright I'll admit that looks good...but what makes you so gaagaa over it? Much less willing to sign away your first born..haha? What makes it any different than any other CC with a PS?

Thats a sharp truck I wish I had 7000 dollars to buy it. It does need bigger tires on it and needs the front end picked up a bit.

XLT SRW PSDs with the 5-speed and 4x4 are pretty rare. I actually like extended cabs better, but I'm pretty fond of the CC, too.

I'm absolutely crazy about that blue, too.

And, it's not beat...which is somewhat rare.

(It's entirely possible that in some areas of the country this is just a nice, ordinary truck. In Maine, CC/LB trucks are rare enough in private use that something equipped just like this, and not beat hard is pretty rare to see.)

I think that pretty much nailed it. In my area, it's split pretty much 50/50 between 460/PSD...and it's probably split 40/60 for E4OD vs 5 speed. And it's really not uncommon to see CC/LB's in my area anymore for private use. However, I will admit, it's pretty rare to see a SC with those specs in my area...most of them are either 351 or are 2wd.

That is a clean looking truck from the photos, curious as to what they have set for a reserve, as they may have it priced to high.

look at the bumpers and toolbox.... Wow! Ryan

I want one on my truck but they dont make it for that old of one. My uncle had a red one like that truck but without the bumpers and his was an auto with 35s on it. It was a PS and very very strong. THers lots of CC around here but most are auto and most are PS. My buddies dad also has a pure white one thats PS auto with 33s and that one is a nice truck.

Yep...and I do actually know enough about these trucks to know exactly what I want. Zero interest in owning one that's not a 7.3 PSD with the ZF-5 (unless somebody put in a ZF-6), and unless I was gonna use it for a dedicated highway trailer hauler, no interest in one that's not a 4x4. Absolutely nuts about that shade of blue, though color wouldn't be a deal breaker. CC or SC is OK, RC is just too tight for stuff on a long trip with a passenger.

On a truck like that, I'd want to be able to put down 1000 mile days comfortably on a somewhat regular basis, so XLT trim with either the 40/20/40 split bench or buckets upholstered in cloth would be a must.

That truck would need new mirrors, though. The ones on it are too small.

Id like one that was a SC or RC LB with PS 5 speed and Id wanna put mirrors on it like I have on my 76 along with a CB and two antennas. 35 or bigger tires and 4x4 of course with solid axle.
