I found a 1968 Ranger long bed in the U Auto Pull it yard in Shreveport LA today. VIN is F10HKC44258 making it a Nov 1967 build truck. 390, C6, PS, Dana 44 limited slip A8 code. Picked over already, may go get PS brackets and pump tomorrow.

Ugh. I didn't need to hear that.

the next time you run onto someone like that tell them you will never get 500 out of it if you crush it. but how about this much.

I told the guy he was a idiot. Ask him how much he got and he said $175 and he seen the $500 in my hand and try selling me a old rust bucket 1967 f100 no motor, no trans, no rear end, and it was rust to h*ll.

Hey BlueBolt, You in Shreveport? I'm in Leesville. There is one of those in Alexandria I have been wanting to hit up. Glad to hear you've found a posiible donor truck.

you handled it right then. you showed him a leason in selling soemthing for what its really worth other than trying to take advance of someone.

As much as it hurts the scrap outfits are in business to make money. Hanging onto older slower moving parts isn't as profitable as the newer stuff. If you find something I suggest you grab it because a car crusher has no concience.

I hate to see old trucks go to crusher despite what condition they're in. A few years ago there was a new apartment complex being built and when they cleared the land, several old cars and trucks were uncovered from the dense woods. I wanted to take some parts off them but never could get permission in time. They sat there for a couple days and then dissappeared, probally to a crusher. However, just YESTERDAY I saw an intact '54 f100 cab sitting on the edge of a power line cut that had just been cleared. Not a bump, but definitely something neat to see.

that is very true. but the man should have been more reasonable. say 300-400. maybe he would have got that quicker and made someone happy. plus he would have made more money than scrapping it. but if the person didnt come back within a certain amount of time that is a different story too.
