Found this ugly duckling while perusing the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . From the listing (spaces removed for brevity) :

1999 FORD F350 XL 7.3 TURBO DIESEL MANUAL TRANS 2WD - $4,500

RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT
322K
NO A SHOW TRUCK
CREW CAB
2WD
ENGINE AND TRANS ARE 110%
BODY HAS SOME RUST

I think this would be a worthy steed, especially with the “never misplace it in a parking lot” paint job. It even has MANUAL WINDOWS AND LOCKS! More pics from the ad:

Everything you need, nothing you don’t. Get a new front bench seat and call her good. What say you, Oppo? NPoCP?

If the frame is fine, I say NP. The truck should be able to make back the mere 2500 bucks and then some for the working man.

Paint scheme seems fine to me. I think I’d need to source a new bench though. Maybe a new carpet too.

I am curious as to what was taped to the windshield (for so long they couldn’t easily get the tape off?) And as to what this dangling bit is:

For 2500 I’d say absolute no brainer as well, but this truck is $4500. I still say NP because 7.3 PSD plus clutch though

Replace the bench seat and the labia majora clutch pedal and you’ve got yourself a winner!

$4,500 seems fair and it seems like a soulful thing with such a unq iue appearance and so much practicality.

Full size trucks with crank windows SUCK. Nothing like deciding you’d like a nice cross breeze and having to pull over on the side of the road to get it, or even worse you’ve got the cross breeze and get caught in a sudden downpour. Hopefully the paperwork on the passenger seat wasn’t actually important because it’ll be soaked before you get the window up.

That detail not withstanding it’s a good price. A new bench will be cheap. I’m sure there’s a few other things, but these trucks are plentiful at junkyards.

I’ve had a crank window equipped full size truck for six years now, and I’ve never had an issue reaching over and cranking down the other side when desired. Q uarter vent windows are also amazing, which sadly this yellow and blue monster doesn’t have.
