Tired of using a rope ladder to get to your treehouse? Unsure of the best finishing touch to your Arrested Development-themed party? In the next three hours, you'll have your chance.

This week, in GSA Auction Watch, we present to you the opportunity to own a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . As of this posting, the bidding was up to $1,431.00 with only 9 bids. You know in your heart that the opportunity to enter the second story of your house without seeing the first is worth more than that.

Forget that this thing is probably too tall to function on most public roads. You need it.

Now get to bidding.

EDIT: The bidding has ended at $1,974. Someone got a sweet deal on an 11K mile F350.

It's not going anywhere fast with the big 6 in it. But those motors were damn near bullet proof. Lots of life left in that one for sure.

Are dollar miles something like foot pounds?

No that would be cubic dollar miles. Don't even ask what that is in the metric system.

It's almost cheap enough to buy, pull the steps off, then stick a bed on, and resell.

That said I wonder how it would be treated if you use it for hunting and set something like a deer stand on it.

The Old Man from Scene 24 > CleverUsername
08/18/2014 at 17:25

A 30 year old truck with 11K miles, most of which were probably done less than one mile at a time, so figure the engine has been started and stopped well over 20,000 times and most likely never fully warmed up properly before being shut-down again.

Add to the fact that the truck has been exposed to the elements its entire life and driven by probably hundreds of different people, with varying levels of skill and fucks given.

Crack pipe.

Depends on whether they changed the oil by mileage (yikes), by hours (kinda yikes) or by time.

mrbwa1 > As Du Volant
08/18/2014 at 22:56

Probably has the indestructible Ford 300cu Inline 6 too. Biggest problem is those 11k miles were VERT short trips. On the plus side, it probably didn't run that loaded down (mostly parked during those times)

The Old Man from Scene 24 > BiPolarWithCars
08/18/2014 at 23:15

Most likely engine hours. When I worked the ramp at Phila International all the motorized equipment had an engine hours meter. Can't remember what the oil change interval was, but it wasn't very frequent. Our forklifts got serviced 1-2 times a year, the tugs, belt loaders and other equipment usually only when something broke.
