Marv's got a sweet truck even if it isn't sporting a blue oval.

BTW there are 2 60s Ford trucks for sale here.

http://rockies.craigslist.org/cto/4278241279.html

http://westslope.craigslist.org/cto/4284420120.html

I just bought a welder from the guy with the blue 65. I didn't look too closely at the truck, but it looks real nice. I recognized it immediately from the Craigslist ad. It was the first truck he and his wife bought together, he was going to restore it but doesn't have the time. Turns out I work with his wife, she works for the county at the airport. Yeah, Gunnison is that small.

I think we struck a deal for his F350 7.3 diesel, 5 speed. Basic 8' regular cab with about 170k. He has done a great job of maintaining it and it will only be a tow rig/lumber yard truck for me. High miles put it in the price range so I don't have to sell my 300. So I think I'm looking for a car hauler next.

Great to see you today.

That 65 looks like a nice deal and you don't even need to take the topper with it.

That 66 has a great "go ahead, pull out in front of me" look to it. Love it!

Done deal. With a name like Marv, you can't go wrong.

The blue 65 is nice. Worth the extra $200 even if it's not a short bet.

Took a trip to the Upay and Pull off of 76 and 25 and they had a brat with the super cool seats with handles just sitting in the back and a quite nice topper!

I'll bet Mr. Gregg will help you zip tie them in for the safety of others icon biggin !

There is so much wrong with that I don't know where to begin. Now as far as Rangers go.... It would be cool to find a diesel 4x4!

Get a utilities truck, have a dozen road cones, park where ever you want. But get one with a bucket on it so you can pull motors/tubs.
