viven44 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 If anyone in Washington is able to save this one from going to the crusher. Ready to buy for $800 + fees. https://www.copart.com/lot/64627954/clean-title-1985-ford-f250-wa-spokane I would buy it, if local. This would be a perfect replacement for Big Blue 2WD (look alike! Same Victoria Tu-Tone). Be easier to swap engine/transmission than do an AC conversion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelastkeg Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 I would buy it also if it was local. I'm surprised to not see any bad rust in the fender wells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Blue 2WD is also a Washington truck for most of its life... I have heard before Washington trucks are usually pretty well preserved. (Big Blue 2WD is surprisingly clean..... even after spending the early part in Canada.) I have seen numerous trucks from states like Oklahoma, Arkansas where you expect to see not much rust but the body is eaten up (drip rails, floor pans, etc)...

I ended up having my 86 shipped in from Marysville WA to MO since finding a truck around here with cab corners and wheel wells is the except to the rule.

I wonder if body rust levels are also dictated by "acid rain".. may explain why trucks from less populated "natural" states are better preserved. Localities with industry and dense population may produce more acid rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
