So as I was looking for something even more unique....
My wife and I took a trip to Arizona back in July '07 to pick up a 1969 Ford Crew Cab 4x4 that was rust free! Made a deal for the truck without motor and transmission... perfect canidate for a Cummins swap!

As it turns out the "rust free" truck wasn't so rust free! Typical buyer beware... can't believe that the world is so full of scamers!

Removed the fuel tank from the inside of the cab... as I will be installing a 50 gallon in the back of the bed. Besides, what a great place to install some subwoofers!

Second part of the buyer beware... ! The seller advertised this truck as having detroit lockers front and rear! When I got into the diffs, I found that we had a pair of power-loks front and rear :bang:
