need help locating ford to buy

[rustygold1]

I live in canada but the trucks here are rusted out and much more expensive. I need some help from you guys finding me an old ford to enjoy . Prefferably im lookin for a
pre-73 4x4 shortbox 460
It cant be to low south due to shipping charges.
I have 8000 set aside to enjoy this old truck, minus the 2000-2500 $ shipping and 3000 worth of upgrades and safety inspections.
Please help me out I love these old truck and refuse to buy anything made completely out of tissues (damn imports)

You do know that "pre73" 4 X 4's never came with a 460 from the factory don't you? You might be looking for the proverbial "needle in a haystack" as most who build that truck will never sell it.

I would think that all the salt used on the roads up north would have depleted many of the old trucks you are seeking. My state doesn't have to use much salt, but the majority of the scrap yards here are crushing & shredding old trucks at an alarming rate. Just a few years ago, I could buy an old truck for $100.00. Today the scrap yard is paying $500.00. Last week they gave my brother-in-law $800.00 for a dodge van. I wish you luck in your search. Have A Great Ford Day!

Several available down here in Georgia in the $1500 price range (but not with a 460) but I have no clue what shipping to you would involve.

Look on Craigslist here in the Pacific Northwest, specifically here in Spokane. You should be able to find 390 equipped 4wd's without too much trouble. Bumps and Dents are EVERYWHERE around here, and cheap. There are probably 40 of them in the wrecking yards being stripped at any given time, so supplies will dwindle...

Although it is not exactly what you want, it is in your price range.

rustygold1....you didn't say where you live in Canada but there have been some very nice trucks in southern Alberta for sale. Some need more work than others but there are still some nice old ford's here. If I didn't have my 67 ford already I would be getting a 67 mercury and I might anyway. The mercury is a little harder to come by but it would stand out just a little bit more.

if you really can't find anything there and don't wanna ship up something from the states i'd check craigslist and kijjijji for trucks in alberta and b.c. -especially coastal b.c.,theres way less snow and salt out here

i'm kinda shocked you can't find anything out there in saskatchewan,my cousins have tons of fairly rust free (but not running) old pelters (no bumps,but a lot of 50's and 60's cars -including my grandfathers first NEW car -a 50 fargo i ton) sitting out in their fields...if i had any room i'd haul some of their "junk" out here and sell em to my street rod buddies...
