V2..The Dents We Find

[LEB Ben]

^^^yeah...it's all toy. If those Boggers were new, it might be a little easier pill to swallow at 5k, but someone is gonna have to put 2k into tires right off the bat too. But as I've mentioned before, the 'deals' I was finding, seem to be getting fewer and far'er between...even higher prices than before the economic crash.

I see this dump bed around now and then. Saw it sitting in the left turn lane so I took a picture when the light turned.

This is awesome....there's nothing like seeing these old rigs still in action and not just driven for show or restoration. We have a cool dent that looks almost exactly like this that is used all year as a work truck and a plow truck!

Cool shot, thanks!

We have more of these still working classic trucks in this area than pretty boy trucks

Yesterday I saw an 77 F150 loaded to the nuts with concrete equipment driving in Red Deer.
It brought a tear to my eye

I wonder how this swap went. A 74 on a 90 frame.

^ Looks like the axles are narrower

On the other site, there was a guy that threw a 79 CC on a 96 frame...or in the process, I should say, I got the boot before I saw it's completion.

On my way to take a load of scrap in, I noticed a farm place that had several dents, one being the car hauler... One looked like they were piecing it together, the box was changed and some other parts. Had a Pete on the other side of the machine shed... Everything looked to be functional, not sitting in the weeds.

Could also be a difference in wheel backspacing...

Wonder why this is so cheap...

I'd buy if it was closer....looks good.

Something about that truck just says 'fishy' to me Ken. The turn signal lenses should be clear not amber. The way the pictures are taken tells me they're trying to hide something. I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt that they're in the PNW so maybe it was raining, but typically taking pictures of a wet vehicle makes the paint look better than it is...especially if the paint is oxidized...which appears to be the case here. That said, that winch is a nice touch, for the price the truck doesn't look too terribly bad...and it has that ever elusive narrow dent trim (I don't like it, but some guys go bonkers for the narrow trim).

I've never seen that trim you're talking about before. It's also pin striped around the trim. Everything else looks good on it....only problem....it's too darn far away. Man, if that was within a state of two of me, I'd be all over it.

The sunroof, tool box, and winch is worth the money.

Nice truck, but is advertised as a Ranger XLT Lariat. HMMMMMMMMM! Don't think so. I asked the guy if the badges on the truck say "Ranger XLT Lariat". His reply was, yes, they do. I told him that Ford did not make that trim level, and he replied,"Yes, they did. The badges prove that".

I give up!

^^^Hey...that's the other side of the county from me.

Yup, they'll try to tell you anything in NC.

And what's up with the steering wheel and shifter in the interior pic? And, it is listed as having a five speed trans. Seems like a JR Cash special.
