So last night i was browsing the old craigslist and i spot this old farm lookin' 58 ford pickup. it has 119,000 original miles, still turns over, its been in a barn since 1985 and has a clean ***le. The add says "make offer" so i e-mail them and ask whats thier bottom dollar and they say "you can have it for hauling it away" COOL! so i take it. I love how stock and stout it looks. Has the original 6 and all, i want to dust it off and try to get it running and use it like a truck should be. Now i just need to find out how to get it back from the Spokane/Cour de' lane area..
Keep in mind that free trucks are similar to free pets..... no such thing. That said, it looks like you got quite a bit for your money.
Get the engine running, COMPLETELY rebuild the brakes, de-mouse it, and drive it back to the guy and give him a sincere "Thanks!" and take him for a ride. Very nice score. -Brad
I really would, but, the truck is around 250 miles from home where im picking it up, so that might be a little tough. But if the opportunity would arise, i will
good deal. seems to be a hell of a lot of old pickups sitting around fields / barns of central WA. i see them about every time im in that area... -scott noteboom
HAHAHAHA So funny Bob I saw that thing a couple days ago, but already have a 60 just like it that I would probably give away, too! I have too much **** I did however just buy ANOTHER 51 pickup. What the hell is wrong with me???
I will make it worth your while if you drive the 70 miles to Sandpoint and drag it back to Spokane so i can pick up both the pickup and Touring in one swoop, hahaha
Are you coming this weekend? I can't if thats the case, too much **** going on...but call Lenny, he may do it for a little $$$!
Yeah, either Sunday or sometime mid week, im not sure. I can tell the longer i take the more nervous Lenny gets though haha
Tell him to name a price and i will give him the cash sometime within the next 6 months....or i will trade him a "hopped up" Baja bug hahaha
