No engine but a three speed manual trans in the bed. Worth every cent I think at today's prices.

Rust doesn't look too bad, dash uncut, can't quite see if there's cancer under the cab eyebrow.

Washington plates on that one. The value on that one might be the rust it doesn't look like you will have to fight.

This is basically a 50 cab with a clear title and a bunch of mix match parts but the cab doesn't look all that terrible. Rough 54 front fenders on it.

I wouldn't argue that point for a second, It might be the left overs from a build with a title too. If I had the extra money, I'd buy it for the cab and title if they match, and stick the cab on my old frame. I've got enough pieces laying around to pretty well put a truck together that someone might decide they liked.

This add has been up for 13 weeks so he may have sold this batch of cabs and parts already.It would take some serious hauling to get it all out of there though.

It looks like he had plans to put AD trucks together on S-10 frames at one time.

I didn't get a photo of it, but I saw a 10700 dump truck for sale today. It was $6200. It's here in Star ID. It looked to be in really nice shape!!! Maybe I'll go by and get a photo at a later date.

Re: Post your C/L - Facebook finds for everyone to enjoy!
 
Running, driving and functioning dump trucks or flatbeds with hoists give your wives too many ideas for honeydoos. That isn't a bad thing but it can keep you busy doing around the place things rather than what you would rather be doing.

Slick little sectioned 51 Chevy with the back end of a burb for a bed in Wenachee Wa.

The listing is 6 weeks old so he either sold it or is still waiting for the FI unit to come back Price isn't bad for the list of parts on it.

The ad is hard to read. He wants $4500 for the truck, $8000 for the motor/trans.

mr48chev 09-18-2023 03:15 PM

Re: Post your C/L - Facebook finds for everyone to enjoy!
 
Even 4500 depends on how much of the truck he actually has.

To me the Jag front end if it is XJ is a far better way to go than a Camaro stub No sheetmetal hacking to get it to fit and you barely know that It is there visually when you look in the engine compartment.

If I had the cash I'd buy it LS3 Subframe and all, Clean up the subframe and sell it to a Camaro freak, put the Truck together so that it looked like something and put it up for sale and put the LS3 and trans in my ot car that I want to do an LS swap on.

I would love to build a Taskforce truck for my wife but the reality is I can't afford it. I'll be lucky if I can finish the 64 Suburban that's been my project off and on for the last 10 years.

mr48chev 09-18-2023 09:41 PM

Re: Post your C/L - Facebook finds for everyone to enjoy!
 
I actually sold my 48 in 1974 to buy a 56 Big window and then couldn't make a deal on the big window and ended up buying the 57 Panel with the 327 in it that I traded back for the 48 in 1975.

Right now, I need to get my 77 squared away and put it up for sale and then get my 71 running and driving so it can haul stuff for the other projects.

Affording it is much easier than having time for it, I've found. One member here bought a whole yard of Task Force parts at an estate sale, enough to get all of his money back AND a free truck to start on...It definitely can be done!

Just like this ad...as was already mentioned, you could just buy this, assemble it, and then sell it for a profit. Then take that profit and do that again a couple times. It all just takes time. If you have the time, you can get your Task Force for free.

I've towed home a few projects that needed some TLC to get running, get functional, etc, and then sold them to an excited new owner so they can take it from there. It was fun, I rescued a truck from some nowhere town, and I made enough to buy more parts for my project. Probably minimum wage, but heck, I liked it!

2012 my wife was prusing through Craigslist and found this bad boy. I believe the town was Rome, GA that it was located, so after a few calls we hooked up the trailer and headed south. this picture is it sitting in my back yard after we returned to Indiana.
The 2nd picture (in gray) is how she looks today. Hot Rod flat gray urethane paint from Eastwood.

Those rigs can be fun and pretty practical though.

I've got 54 frame to set it on and lots of parts that could make into a decent cab and rolling chassis. The nose = patch panel material.

Isn't it sad that with inflation this thing may be a screaming deal?

mr48chev 10-24-2023 04:50 PM

Re: Post your C/L - Facebook finds for everyone to enjoy!
 
That's his asking price, give him about three weeks and the sale price will be more reasonable or someone who needed the 54 5 window cab will have made a deal on it. I'd try to trade something for it anyhow.

leegreen 10-24-2023 05:39 PM

Re: Post your C/L - Facebook finds for everyone to enjoy!
 
What a mongrel, it is probably making some ford guys wince too.
Good yard art if you could stomach looking at it every day: the people that stopped and stared, likely they know their old trucks.

I think that cab is cooked: needs rebuilding the cowl, the rear body seam is suspect and that white cracking paint probably covers some serious body filler.
But for the price there is some stuff there.

dsraven 10-24-2023 06:56 PM

Re: Post your C/L - Facebook finds for everyone to enjoy!
 
LG, you think there may be filler on there somewhere? lol. check out the seam where the hood would normally fit against the fender at the rear. oops, something fell off there, haha. must be a flip front end I guess. I wonder whats with the paint cracking all over the whole thing. maybe a bad mix with too much somethingorother in it.

Got another winner for ya, gents!!

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...6177667263450/

From the ad:

"1959 Apache fleet side 32 pickup. Been sitting in family garage since 2004.clearly not original. Currently isn’t running. All running gear is there. Kinda of a rat Rod thing going on. Please don’t pepper this ad with a bunch of ridiculous questions. It’s a clean title and pics speaks for itself. Like to get $1800. For the truck.located off 66th and Columbia in Portland please don’t message “is it still available “ I will not respond. It’s still available if it’s still up. Truck has a 235 6 cylinder motor. It’s a total project truck for a person with passion for these old trucks."

1project2many 10-25-2023 12:26 PM

Re: Post your C/L - Facebook finds for everyone to enjoy!
 
daveshilling, that truck is truly one of a kind. I don't share the vision but I definitely admire the dedication.
