Ford F834 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Well, maybe not quite a garaged "survivor" per se, but a way above average 1980 F250 for sale on Facebook. Probably worth the $7K asking price: https://www.facebook.com/groups/738828752829520/permalink/1602675696444817/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 That is a beautiful truck. 👍 You could not recreate it for twice that much money. That’s the reason people should snap up trucks like this one to build their dream truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the reason people should snap up trucks like this one to build their dream truck. Exactly. People are all too quick to compare that to a run-of-the-mill $1500 work truck. I guess it's priced high if your goal is to haul firewood, but if you want a restoration platform you could never get a work truck to that level for $7K... not even close.

There are certainly things you ~could do to it, but as it sits it's already a dream truck if you like stock originality 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a clean truck. 118K miles w/new trans + transfer case. I don't know if he means the engine is just underpowered (which can be fixed), but I like it! Too bad I'm truck poor lol......

Long time no hear. 😎 Yes, being underpowered is correctable. 302’s easily become 351W’s, 351M’s become 400’s, 460’s start strong, and IDI’s get boosted. But we just don’t have a good plan, yet, for the 300 - although David did open the discussion with Tim Meyer recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
