Just locally searching ford with $6min $2000max filters by owners

I'm tempted to call the guy and look at it, as its only 10min away, but I'm scared I might like it and be stupid enough to try to drive it to gainsville this fall

if its 10min away you have to go look at it and get some good pics of that beast if it ends up in the scrap pile we should all hang our heads in shame

I think I know him, he has a couple fire trucks and an awesome IH scout hot rod.

Yeah, get pics. It's too far for me to drive there just to see it, but if it's solid, I'd drive there to buy it if nobody else did.

Jim is it going to be your new DD i dont think it will fit on your lift in the garage will it, and i really think it may come up short of your 25mpg you were looking for in the DD but you never know

The F700 came with a 5spd in the 70's that will bolt right in. The 2 spd is in the rearend it matters what you plan on hauling but they offered different gearing for it.... the truck i drove fully loaded or empty would do about 70mph uphill or downhill and it seemed to get the same mpg

There's this line. It's in a constant state of movement, but it's there. It's a line that if a vehicle crosses it, you must follow. Over this line coolness goes to a level that can no longer be denied. It goes to a level where rational thought by necessity must be ignored. I know you've been there too. This truck is somewhere over that line, my friend...

I completely love it. Too many trucks... Must stop self.... Can't go to bank.... GF will leave me... Electricity will be cut off... Deep breaths.

It's no more extreme than anything else I've had. I would love that two speed for my 1ton ex-wrecker.

We're you able to contact him? I'd really like to know if it's solid or not. Black truck in bad pictures - Hard to tell.
