Should I buy it?
Guy at work wants to sell a 78 F**d 1/2 ton for $200. Has 351M engine, new tires. Runs good, cab good, bed sucks. If I got it, I would probably beat on it or trade it for some Chevy parts.

If it runs good buy it and use it to haul parts trash or sell it for a profit and buy cheby parts.If the beds shot and you have the equipment build a flatbed for it. Hell for 2 bills you could use it as a demo junker and not be out enough money to worry about too much.
