Whoa. Someone near Montana needs to grab this!

4wd SWB Ford Van for Challenge Money

 

I’m having a hard time believing that it’s not already sold. 

In reply to Sine_Qua_Non :

It has been listed for a day.

And it's not like it is near....




...well, anything, really.

Cool as hell but only having the 9 gallon tank has gotta suck for back country treks

Ive been to glasgow. Cool old small town. Pretty remote and lots of very cool old farm trucks and cars parked in fields.  I think its 3-4 hours from the nearest big airport, billings or minot.

Probably why it hasn’t sold, it can’t make it to town to get gas.

Just 1,311 miles from me.  I kinda want it even if I have no use for such a thing. it's cool.

it would be a great drive home though, stopping for fuel every 72 miles (assuming 8 mpg)

Yeah, I'm sure no one here has the skills to get the 30 gallon tank to work...

More than likely, montana is huge and sparse. Figure...10mpg at 80mph for their highways....90 miles isnt as far as you think

If It's Geared for MONTANA Think 6 mpg at 50 mph

What rear end did SWB 302 F-150s have that year?

9"

Edit~ I thought this was earlier than a '85.   Could be either 9 or an 8.8, assuming you meant E150

I sent the ad to my buddy in Missoula, he said I was closer to it than he is, and I'm in FL! 

How cold is it there today ?

Sold!

In reply to Sine_Qua_Non :

If I could've found a way out there quick enough, I would have owned it.

I could have sold it for nearly triple with a little TLC.

Wish I had seen it sooner.  Would have just had it shipped.  Sure,  it would have been expensive,  but worth it if it was as clean as it looks in the pic.

Wasn't me that grabbed it, but I was asking about the F-150 rear end.  Gearing effects mileage.

In reply to Cotton :

There was some sort of issue with alignment of the rear end. It was towards the front of the wheelwell on the driver's side, but center on the passenger side.

Silly spring pins like Mopars?

In reply to 914Driver :

My hope was for something along those lines.   All of the photos showed it, new and old, so I doubt the owner was very mechanical.  Which is also why I figured the tank issue probably wasn't a huge ordeal, either.  It had lockouts, so I figured low teens were obtainable.
