I hope the idiot owner bins it into a wall and dies before he sells it so he can't buy and ruin another car. Good lord, all money no taste.

He'll just build a different front end for it. Just like he did once already

I've seen this a bunch of times, but it only just occurred to me that there's no way to hook up the trailer to the car's brake lights. Unless there's some kind of coaxial connection?

It looks like there's a wire harness of some kind going up from the car into the front of the trailer. Better keep track of how much you've spun it up.

That would be an awesome enough prank that $150 is worth it.

Hell, you could probably sell them on to someone else for $150 afterwards, just copy the ad but mention they're great for pranks.

Can't see how many lugs the bolt pattern is and don't know what the ratio in those diffs is, but if it's 3.55/3.73 and 8x6.5 pattern, that's a $300 repair if you own a welder and have a you-pull nearby.

Get to it.

I'm honestly trying to sell some things and get $1600ish together so I can get over there with a truck and trailer and snag it. I really want something that can actually achieve the speed limit on the highway, but whatever 1 ton Dodges of that era are uncommon as gently caress and I want it.

Some say a big truck is compensating for a small penis, others say a big truck is just a big truck.

It seems the terms for craiglist cars has changed again

In 2005 it was "needs paint and body work, rusty as hell"
In 2010, it became "rat rod"

Not Craigslist but Australia’s equivalent is “gumtree” as our craigslist dumps. I’ve been procrastinating calling this guy for a week or so now, the drama is that it’s over a thousand k away from me and a car transporter wont transport it with said added parts. Ide love to drive this back down, reckon it would do the 1200 KM?

gently caress now that I’m typing this post its becoming more reasonable a purchase.

Well the ad says it has rust (even though the pic doesn't really show it) and it looks like the bed doesn't line up - I'd take a hammer and screwdriver and check the frame very thoroughly for swiss cheese.

I bet the cab corners and all of the brake lines are rusted out. If you want an old Ford, the only one I see decent on Craigslist for that kind of cash is this F100, a 302 and 99% chance of it being a T18 which is incredibly overbuilt for anything you could do with it.
