Cool!
Yeah this is a SOLID old truck with 30k original miles.
Runs strong. Sucker will haul a$$$$$....
Its got a holley double punper, msd ignition, etc.
Under the flatbed is a really nice air compressor. Brand new tires on the rear. Old tires on front but they have full tread so I'm running them for now. The sucker is almost entirely rust free. They even painted the frame red at the factory.
I've thought about selling it. Could help fund lots of good things for the bus.
How much did you get for yours?

The closest things I can find to this truck for sale online are in the 2500 and up range!
Maybe I'll stick it on CL or Ebay.

Going to sell a few more items I've got lying around and start shopping for a generator.
I may just buy a damaged motorhome with one and strip everything out.
Sold two trucks now...
My papas old pos 1987 ranger is next and I'll actually be sad to part with it.

CB,
Unfortunately, with the economy in the dumper as it is, this is a buyer's market, not a seller's market. I feel your pain.

Its SOLD!
Was a sweet old Ford, but I had no time or money for such a project.
I'm debt free with a small surplus...
Now I just need to finish a bit of this and that then raise the roof.

Came across a nice deal on a clean, old-man-owned Honda 80cc scooter. It even matches the bus (for now).
Had to splurge... I LOVE these.
Picked it up yesterday in Cocoa Beach.

Nice scooter. Now, if you add some underbelly storage and a composting toilet...

Is your scooter National School Bus Yellow? Some states might require you to paint it! ;)
