Things that go bump in your town

[FLATBEDFORD]

Here's a couple that I've posted here in other topics.
'72 F250 4x4 about 20 miles up the river from me.

'68 F100 about 4 miles from me. Its for sale. Asking $500. Pretty rusted, but it has a solid bed.

I have pictures of 2 others, I have find them, and theres a '68 or '69 F350 with a factory flatbed rotting away about 10 miles from me that I should photograph and inquire about. I've seen about 15 of them within a 50 mile radius since I started looking around 2 years ago. Most make my truck look pretty good.

yah, the finishing touch would be a nice train horn setup

too bad that 68 is not closer. i'd use that for a dd.

[cghstrojan08]

I like it.

thats sweet!
there are only 2 things i dont like about it-
its a dually, and why does it have a swb flatbed, on a lwb frame ?
and i wonder why he has an extra hood in the bed.

It's actually a LWB frame with 42" added to it.He had an Add A Crew unit on it.Add A Crew's were an aftermarket cab addition that did not require cutting into the original cab.The Add A Crew was removed to reduce the height so it could be put into storage.Some idiot hit the box with a backhoe and destroyed it.

The extra hood is to replace the one that's on it.The hood that's on it is the only sheet metal from a PA truck.All the rest came from Arizona and Nevada.

The front tires were changed to haul it on a trailer.The tires that belong on it are 33 12.50 x 16.5 BFG Terrain TA's on 10" chrome modular wheels.

oh i see.
could you remove the cab and install a crew cab? that would be awsome on that truck

I'd have to get some measurements from one of the crew owners here to be sure but it would be real close.

[cghstrojan08]

Ya, it would look awesome with a crew.

Here's a couple more.
'67 F350 Uhaul. Has 6 cylinder and automatic. Owner says it runs. It seems to move around the yard every once in a while. He says it could be for sale. I think it would be a great addition to my collection, if I had the room for it. I have to get a better shot of it some time.


Here's an other F350. This one is about 20 miles away, in the town I grew up in. I spoke to the owner about a year ago. He said he uses it to deliver mulch a few months a year. He said he may replace it soon. I gave him my number. The picture is from August, '07. I haven't looke for it since.

i saw a white f350 today. it had the factory stake sides on it. i didnt have my camera with me though. it did lokks pretty good. i didnt see any fender rust. and it didnt look all beat up.

I've seen a 70 ( at least that's what the grill is) highboy parked at a terminal where we service trucks.I think it belongs to one of the drivers.It looks decent but every time I remember my camera it's not there.

This one is really quite nice.

[rubiranch]
