Might be getting a highboy. I ran across it at a yard/estate sale last week. It looks like a 69 but they keep calling it a 71. Well, anyway, it's sitting with no engine and the transmission/transfer case in the back. It is a real straight custom cab but has is a put together truck and was probably rolled at some point as there is bondo coming loose on both sides of the cab. So, at the yard sale, aging California hippy surfer dude wants $1200 and thinks the basket case 302 somehow justifys that. I told the older dude I had an enclosed trailer I might trade. I would take $500 cash for the trailer. He came over yesterday to look at the trailer.I just told him straight up that the 302 added nothing to the value of the truck and I would never use it anyway, straight up trade for a truck with no engine. Sounds like he might go for it, highboy needs moved.
There is also a 89 F-150 4x4, 302 5 speed. It's sitting with one wheel off and only needs some minor repair like a starter (yeah, right). They were asking $800 for it. I politely told the guy I see better trucks than that going across the scales and the most it was worth was crusher price, $100 a ton, so about $200. He said they would probably haul it to the crusher. I also offered crusher price if he decided to do that, save him the hauling.
We'll see.
