Slight delay with transferring fundage at my bank. Rookie mistake on my part as I'm not adept at moving money around. I usually just let it sit and forget about it.

Seller is being cool about it. Latest should be Thursday. Now I know how all you fancy pants that ordered your Rangers felt.

I had a 64 Ford shortbed back in high school. It cost me $900 and was cherry. Baby moons with Daytona Rubber with three on the tree. Great truck for hauling my MX Bike. That was my first vehicle. I wish I still had it.
That Chevy looks pretty decent but its a Chevy. LOL

I know you're in Colorado, but in TN $22500 or maybe less will get you this...

Something is very fishy about that price. A straight bodied, subframed, 383, '56 Apache is a $40k truck anywhere in the country. One of the pictures shows grease pen writing on the window as though it was for sale at a swap meet for $24k OBO. If that truck didn't sell for $22k at a swap meet SOMETHING is up.

A quick search shows the cheapest 50's Apache within 500 miles of Tennesee to be $38k, and it's not as nice as that one appears to be.

If somebody buys that truck for $22k and it's what it claims to be good for them. But I couldn't buy a vehicle without driving it, let alone not seeing it. And that ad has so many red flags I wouldn't waste a plane ticket.

I appreciate the help though.

That one popped up in my routine cruise of the Marketplace.

I know absolutely Zero about the old trucks but they must've known that I looked at one on here.

So obviously I'm now in the market for one, right?

I just that one looked pretty good for that price.

Looks too good for that price from everything I've seen.

Google is definitely paying attention. Youtube is feeding me shorts from an air ride company that specializes in old trucks. I haven't typed air ride into my phone or anything until now.

I blame YOU @D Fresh

This kinda stuff is popping up all the time now.

This is $4800 asking price.

327, Powerglide, etc.

Doggone but that would be a hoot.

But it doesn't look like I could sleep in it...

Do Eeeet!


That one would be perfect for one of the personalized plates I'm considering.

SPOOKY- I'm sure it's taken. But my dad's '49 Ford truck was named Casper, after the friendly ghost. Spooky, the tough little ghost was Casper's cousin.

SHFTBOX


NOT ROD


The last two are self explanatory and would be perfect on that ride!

Here's a running and driving Apache for $5500

_nc_ohc=jSGmys1rw5UAX-Sr_pT&_nc_ht=scontent-atl3-1.jpg


And here I recently bought a Jeep Wrangler.

I'm pretty certain on Dave Ramsey's Path To Financial Well Being that step 1 is to buy a Jeep and step 2 is to buy a project vehicle.

But Dave Ransey doesn't seem like he has much fun.

I think I inadvertently have forced my brother-in-law to get his half a decade long project LS CJ Cruiser completed.
