Ford F834 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 https://lasvegas.craigslist.org/cto/d/ford-350-4x4/6615225092.html This truck is not inexpensive, but it’s a lot of truck for $7500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 That is a whole lot of truck for the money! In many ways it is comparable to Big Blue, and I wouldn't part with him for anything near that little. I think it is an original dual-battery setup or it wouldn't have the coolant recovery reservoir in the right location with the right bracket. But, that looks like a Bricknose reservoir, not a Bullnose. And he's rewired between the batteries with a massive cable across the top of the radiator support - unless that's for the winch, which it might be as there's a knife switch on that cable. It has what looks to be a vacuum gauge under the dash. And he's somehow gotten a radio of some kind, perhaps the Ham or CB, above the standard radio spot. And air horns with a compressor mounted in the bed. And, it has a tach. And a matching bed topper. Overall it is better shape than Big Blue, probably because it is a CA truck. And, he has the sun shades that may have helped a bunch on the UV exposure to the interior. If someone wants a truck like that then this one has to be a serious contender.

The seller mentions that it has both CB and HAM radio... and that is a good observation regarding the dual batteries. He obviously put some money into it with the rear bumper, grille guard, winch, lights and camper shell. There are a lot of extras. Not all of it is stuff I would choose but it is a nice outfit and priced really well for its condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see the two mikes hanging there. And, it is possible that what I took to be a vacuum gauge is an SWR meter for either radio. He bought it new and has all the documentation, including shop manuals, with it. That truck would make a really good one for someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
