Rembrant Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I'd have no use for such an animal, but I'm surprised to see the price as high as it is. I'm sure it would be a lovely truck if somebody wanted a single axle F350 4x4. https://www.ebay.com/itm/133109460172 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Nice looking truck. And you could not recreate it for the $9400 current bid - assuming you'd want to recreate it. But they have an innovative way of counting transmission speeds - they include reverse! The shift knob clearly shows 1 - 4 and reverse, but in two places they state it is a 5-speed, so.... And, has the winch been removed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rembrant Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 Nice looking truck. And you could not recreate it for the $9400 current bid... Gary, I'm glad that you always make that comment. I think about it ALL THE TIME when looking at used trucks. Knowing what I've spent so far on mine, it almost makes me ill when I see a beautiful truck for $10,000 lol. No joke. But,...and the big but is...I never see one that is exactly what I want, or what I would build given the opportunity....and the project IS the destination (Or at least it can be if you're into that). There is some pride in the old saying "Built, not bought". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is some pride in the old saying "Built, not bought". Vernon had $40K into Big Blue. And while it is an F250 I'm turning it into an F350 - much like that one. So even more cost. If I were to buy that F350 I'd pull the red lights and the radios and sorta be back to Square One - for a lot less money than Vernon put into Big Blue, but with essentially all the same bits. No, it wouldn't have new gears in either diff, nor the TrueTracs. But it would have either a D50 or D60 up front instead of the D44. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if contractors, to fight fires for the USFS, want this because things they need are already there. And it’s a nice low miles truck!
