Re: New member, new to this forum not others.
I like it! When we were getting ready to put a new shell on our truck, I was looking for a long bed stepside. Once I discovered that I could get the whole rear of the shell to lift up (I do woodworking/construction (even though I'm retired), and need to get full sheets of plywood into the camper), I quit looking.

Re: New member, new to this forum not others.
Welcome. I sold this truck to a older gentleman in Jacksonville about 4-5 years ago. I think his name was Pete. Very nice man.

Re: New member, new to this forum not others.
Well fellas I am in the Jacksonville nc area. So that's where she stays, and yep I'm pretty sure she was a fleet vehicle, she also has the factory manual and protect'O'plate thing.
And records dating back to '88. She's an inline 6 250 with the 4 on the floor. I picked her up because I thought she was a unique find. And the first longbed stepside I have ever seen. |

Re: New member, new to this forum not others.
Morning gents.
I have the opportunity to pick up a 350 with everything on it for a good deal. And I'm throwing the idea around to possibly swap it into my truck. How difficult would that be? I'm keeping my 4speed. And want to do this as cheaply as possible. Any ideas? |

Good looking truck! Roof mounted light, and 3 in the cab, going four wheeling with no seatbelts, driver trying to be Walker Evans, just don't work out for the middle guy (me)!
 5 stiches later, head was good to go. Good times!

Re: New member, new to this forum not others.
That is a nice truck, especially for what appears to be a fleet vehicle. I know when we got rid of fleet trucks they were beaten to death.
Good score! Myself, I'd just keep the inline 6, but then again I'm a sucker for those. They remind me of the old days.

Cool truck you have there. I'm no expert (but there are several here), but I think you're right, Carmen is at least somewhat unique: Long step, I6, 4 speed. That's not a combination you here about everyday. So I'm kinda with other poster fond of the 6 banger...dropping a 350 in there will make her a little more ordinary, that's all. Either way, nice find. Looking forward to seeing what you wind up doing!
