is it worth it?
« on: Jan 08, 2007, 10:51:14 PM »
sooo guys here is the deal... a friend of mine had a 1996 250 duly.. mindt condtion. not one scratch on it.. but no bed.....  he wants around $2500 for it.. its low kms.. maybe 30 thousand if that... it was used for delivering wood for a lumber company in town befor they shut down.. i was thinking if its worth gettin and puttin a box on it/gettin a trialer.. or just extending and building a bed for it.. with slide out ramps to trailer my truck and w/e else it could be handy for?  ill try to get some pics soon.

Sounds like a good deal as long as the yard clowns didn't beat it when it was a delivery. I wouldn't try and set it up to haul your rig "on" it though. An F250, even a dually, isn't going to carry that much weight safely. It will tow it no prob though. If you can't find a good deal on a bed you could always build a flat bed for it and add some tool box's for storage.

Doosty, sounds like a good deal to me, as long as like fireball said, that the lot guys didn't hammer on the truck.  :dunno:

It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
