I just need something for dump runs and stuff like that. I green stickered my 78 so I can't use that on the street anymore. Ugly is fine, so long as it isn't roached mechanically...

We have a super clean 2wd 92 F Super Duty flat bed here at the shop we need to get rid of.Its got a 7.3 IDI diesel with a 5 speed and a Dana 80 with 5.38s.And there is a hidden 5th wheel hitch under a little cover in the middle of the flat bed.This would be a serious tow rig :pimp2:
Its sweet,but prolly a little more truck than what your needing :p

Sounds great, but prolly out of my price range... How much they asking for it?

I have a friend who runs across alot of deals. What's your budget and are you looking for a fullsize truck?

Fullsize, preferably something 3/4 or 1 ton, and cheap, it's just for around town stuff. If I can find something that runs good for $1500 I would buy it, especially if it's diesel or pre-smog. I'd go higher for the right deal.

Have you found a truck yet and if not i have a friend with a 1976 1/2 ton dodge with a 440 that i built (and recently passed a smog check) and it has a rebuilt trans also. It is a salvage title vehicle as his ramcharger was hit while parked in front of his house and that was pushed into the corner of the bed and insurance totaled it. He is looking to get 2000.00 but is a little flexible on price. He does have a bunch of other parts that can go with it as well.

I haven't found one but money has recently got a lot tighter, so I guess I'll be holding off for awhile. Thanks all for letting me know what you have.
