I found a 77 F150 (2wd)for sale in Scarborough. I think I can grab it for $200 and thats about what its worth. It's a rust bucket running a 351 auto. I was thinking about grabbing it for parts. I checked the data plate for axle code because I could use a better rear end ratio but this one is 2.75:1, worse than my 3.0.
I could use a the front spindles if there any good but thats about it.
Anyone else interested in any parts or getting a parts truck?

Is it the medium brown (baby poo) styleside?
I seem to remember someone posting a pic of a guy with a Ford pick-up pulling a trailer made from the same year group Ford pick-up. If you made your own trailer, Frank, you could look just like buddy in the old pic.
Let me know if you grab the truck. Seems I owe you a favour (best done on a Sunday).

I think we're talking about the same truck, the colour is some where between brown and orange with a white stripe. It's supposed to run but rear main seal is shot. he's ask $400 but will take 200.
The box isn't good enough for a trailer or I'd get my straw hat on and pose for the picture !

If someone else was interested in mechanical parts or the drivetrain glass etc. I would grab it and we could tear apart quickly so that it only sits in my driveway for a couple of days before getting hauled away. I won't get it myself just for a spindle and some odds/ends.

You owe me a favour? hmmm, the possibilities are endless.... (kidding).

 

Is that the real rough POS in the trader (I see it on the website)? If you get it for $200, you could just strip the good stuff and haul the shell for scrap - $120/ton (I got $213 for a 5th Ave) - and have free parts!

On that note, anyone need any 74 F100 parts? I'm going to strip the truck this weekend and scrap the leftovers in a couple weeks.

 

I just checked the autotrader and no thats not the one but the 144litre tank is interesting??

 

Ok, ya, that "what the heck do you call that colour". Is the white stripe the factory one that does a U turn at the rear (77) or just extra paint on a roller paint job?
The factory stripe truck (2 gas tanks) is still working (saw it 2-3 weeks ago) & I haven't seen the other well used (POS) truck for a while.
