    Here it is. $400 obo
    In or close to the Bedford area.
    It's either 3/4 ton or the heavy half model, not sure.
    350 engine, 4 speed manual transmission on the floor.

    I will admit it looks terrible. The bed is rusty and probably half of the trim is gone.
    Tires are acceptable.
    HOWEVER, this truck can survive an emp blast and start right up.
    Plugs and points, no electronic anything.
    It has less than 85,000 miles. I will have to check the actual mileage if you want to know it.
    It is very mechanically sound, except it really could use an alignment.
    It's never been wrecked (in spite of its appearance).

    I bought this truck for my son when he started driving to get cheap insurance.
    I used this truck to haul trash and get a load of mulch every year for the flower beds.
    My son is 21 now and it has outlived it's usefulness at our house.

    I was going to take it to the recycling center and get $350 for it.
    But then I thought, maybe, possibly, someone would be interested, so here it is.

    I apologize for the crummy pics, they are all I had and it's not like there are tiny flaws I am trying to hide. :)

    Wow if you were closer I would do this. Would make a great beater truck and keep the salt off my nicer one. Indestructible trucks. I applaud you for trying to find it another home instead of just scrapping it.

    I am using my daily bump to apologize to everyone.
    I got in the truck this weekend to move it around to the front of the house and got a surprise.
    Sometime during the last freezing spell something happened and froze the clutch plates together.
    I am afraid my only option at this point is to tow it to a junkyard.
    I have pm'd everyone who responded to the ad.
    Thanks for the responses.
