Scrap yard



Sending the above truck to the scrap yard end of this week. If anyone local to 06423 wants it send over a note. Its a 71 F350, dually, hydraulics for dump, power steering, front disc brakes, decent cab, 4 speed manual transmission. Good glass
Hate to see it get crushed.

Thanks,
Ray

Does it have a motor?

Give some specifics and I am sure someone would take it off your hands..

It has a FE360 motor looks pretty good but I've not heard it run. If/when I drop it off at the crusher I'll post the name so if someone wants a part they can head over there.


Comes down to time and space. I'd rather see it be recycled than crushed. If I find a local barn to stash it in I'll do that but at the moment I'm out of space.

So much for end of the week...

I could have used some stuff but can't afford some of the yard prices.

Getting it would be a problem too as I am spending every free moment getting my '72 back on the road. I'm also not realy local..

Wow less then 24 hours then hauled away. I call that being fair since I was interested in coming down this weekend to get it.


Thanks a whole heck of a lot.

Why would anyone who is a Ford Truck Entusiast Send a complete truck to the crusher when there are people here who would have taken it and given it new life..

I am sorry but that calls for a good @$$ wooping...

My post yesterday kept going off to cyberspace and not showing up. Instead of wasting my time re-typing I made the confusing(?) followup post.

If anyone was really interested its been in the classifieds for 2 years or so. After the last one expired, no craigslist hits, no ebay hits ($1.00), figured it was time.

Hauled it off to a local thats going to use it as a parts truck possible restoration.

Glad to hear that.

Personaly I don't look at ebay for this year parts because 99% of them ar too far away and the 1% or so that is local are too far gone. I don't look at craigs list in Mass to much because every time I look there is nothing ford related even close to what I could use. And with loosing the ex I am playing again after about 5 years of not being able to play with my trucks...

I sent you a Private message and I guess you did not even see it. The point is that you had listed it here and 30 hours later it was crushed. I'll tell you it wasted my time and I do restore trucks like that.

I just wanted to thank you for the quick responce you gave me.
