Sold 2/16/2009

1979 F-250 body on a 1976 F-350 chassis with a divorced NP205 transfer case. I’ve had this truck for ten years and it deserves a home
with somebody who has the time and passion for maintaining this truck that I once had.
I have a lot commute and new baby in the family that consumes my time. The truck has a rare engine with even rarer factory exhaust manifolds.
Ford guys will know the value of a 4BBL Cleveland. The truck runs very good, the drive train is very reliable.

• New battery in October
• New Dual diaphragm brake booster
• New heater core
• Lots of chrome (bumpers, diff covers, etc)

What it needs:

It’s an old truck and has many little things that need attention. Your welcome to stop by for a test drive; it drives very well. The drive train is stout.

• Roof light is out
• Tailgate latch is tricky
