    Nice snag, Idaho!! Looking at the ad, its kinda comical that the guy threatens about not lowballing him...yet he let it go for $900, down from the asking price that was 5 times that!!

    Brought a lot of memories flooding back for me...I came home from university once long ago and found that dad had purchased a '73 Ford F250 4x4 that was styled a lot like your rig. I had dreamed about running one of them...they were 'way up off the ground (like a 20 year old kid figured they should be) so I was in 7th heaven. The old 360 was a gas hog and not very powerful so I swapped it out for a 390 and pulled the auto trans for a 4 speed manual. The 390 wasn't any better on gas but I could get the old girl to go 90 mph up the steepest hills. Still wish I hadn't traded it off!!
