Oh nice! I quite like those dualies...and if I could just buy vehicles at random, I'd probably have one...lol.

I came across a similar one for sale up here yesterday...slightly newer (sorry Gary, not a Bullnose), but seemed to be pretty cheap for the condition it was in. Roughly 100k miles on it.

Nice truck.  I wonder if the "newer engine" got a straight-up timing set, which makes a big difference on the 351M's and 400's.

$8K may seem a bit much, but that's the starting point and it is a lot of truck for the money.  Really clean and seemingly no rust.  That alone will save you several thousand dollars on bodywork and paint on another truck.
