GREAT FIND OFF OF A LOCAL ESTATE. HUSBAND DIED IN 1985 AND THIS WAS PUT IN THE WIFE'S NAME. SON USED IT AROUND THE FARM FOR YEARS AND I BOUGHT IT ON HIS ESTATE SALE. (I ALSO BOUGHT HIS 300-6 POWERED 88 F150 WHICH YOU MIGHT SEE IN THE BACKGROUND AND WILL BE ON A LATER SALE) ANYWAY; THE 360 STARTS GOOD AND QUIET (NO LIFTER OR OTHER NOISES), RUNS GREAT AND APPEARS TO HAVE NO LEAKS OR SMOKE. THE 4 SPEED SHIFTS GREAT. EXHAUST IS NOT LOUD, BUT THERE IS A LEAK UNDER THE CAB (HEY, WE DON'T DO SUPRISES HERE). THE PICKUP DRIVES MUCH BETTER THAN IT SHOULD WITH THESE BIAS 8:75/16.5 TIRES. TRUCK STOPS OK. I ADDED BRAKE FLUID AND IT STOPS HARD AND STRAIGHT AT HALF PEDAL, BUT YOU HAVE TO PUMP IT TO GET THE EQUALIZER LIGHT TO GO OUT. MIGHT NEED BLED YET. I DIDN'T DO MUCH TO THE UNIT AS I AM TRYING TO KEEP IT AS CLOSE TO A BARN FIND AS YOU CAN GET. ALL BARNS ARE FULL OF MICE AND THE AUCTIONEER WASHED OUT THE PICKUP TO SELL IT. I AM WORKING ON THE SMELL AND DISINFECTED THE INTERIOR (BUT THAT'S HOW REAL BARN FINDS ALL ARE). THIS IS A GOOD, CLEAN, HONEST, OLD PICKUP. YOU'LL WILL FIND THINGS TO FIX. MY RESTORATION WAS PUTTING A NEW PAD ON THE CLUTCH PEDAL. GLASS IS NEAR PERFECT. PAINT ON THE HOOD IS VERY NICE AND HOOD IS ARROW STRAIGHT. I REMOVED THE BUG DEFLECTOR THAT HELPED SAVE THE HOOD FROM CHIPS. I SEE NO HAIL DENTS OR REPAINT. THERE ARE YEARS OF SMALL DINGS AROUND ON THE TRUCK, FROM LIFE ON THE FARM. THE UGLY GRILL GUARD HAS HELPED KEEP THE GRILLES AND SURROUND BEAUTIFUL. THE NEW CHINESE ONES ARE NOT NEAR THIS NICE. THE INTERIOR IS IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION, WHICH IS RARE FOR ANY 3/4 TON PICKUP LET ALONE ONE THAT IS 40. THIS WAS A NONE-SMOKERS TRUCK, SO THERE IS NO SCUM OR YELLOWING ANYWHERE. DASH PAD HAS NO CRACKS. LOOK AT THE PICS. IT IS A NICE INTERIOR. SORRY I DIDN'T GET A PICTURE BEHIND THE SEAT, BUT IT IS ALSO VERY NICE. WE ARE SWATHING MILLET RIGHT NOW, SO I DIDN'T SPEND MUCH TIME ON THE UNIT. I DIDN'T TAKE TIME TO WAX OR POLISH ANYTHING. THE RADIO AND WIPERS NEED CHECKED OUT, AS THEY ARE NOT WORKING. ALL THE LIGHTS BUT THE DOME LIGHT AND ALL THE GAUGES APPEAR TO WORK. SPEEDOMETER IS SMOOTH. BARNS LEAK AND ARE DAMP AND APPARENTLY SOMETHING WAS LEFT IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK. IT IS RUSTY(AS THE PICS SHOW). DOORS SHUT LIKE NEW. STEERING, SUSPENSION, ETC. ACTS LIKE A 72K TRUCK SHOULD. I PUT 50 MILES ON THE TRUCK TODAY. CRUISES 60 FINE. IT WILL HAVE MORE MILES THAN IT SHOWS, AS I AM DRIVING IT AND IT IS FOR SALE LOCALLY. MANY OF OUR VEHICLES ARE SOLD ON AN OFFER AND THAT ENDS THE AUCTION. I HAVE PROBABLY LEFT SOMETHING OUT, SO PLEASE DON'T HOLD IT AGAINST ME. YOU ARE BUYING A GOOD, HONEST OLD TRUCK. IF YOU ARE UNDER 10 FEEDBACK; CONTACT US BEFORE YOU BID OR YOUR BIDS WILL BE CANCELED AND BLOCKED TO MAKE IT FAIR FOR THE LEGIT BUYERS. I AM STARTING THIS WELL UNDER THE MONEY; BUT IT IS NO-RESERVE AND IF YOU ARE THE LAST BIDDER, YOU ARE THE BUYER. NO GAMES, NO HIDDEN DEALER FEES. WHAT YOU BID IS WHAT YOU PAY. I HAVE FOUND OUT OVER MANY YEARS OF THESE AUCTIONS, THAT STARTING IT AT THE AMOUNT THAT WILL BUY IT HELPS TO KEEP THE TIRE KICKERS OUT. NON-REFUNDABLE $500 DOWN ON THIS WITHIN 24 HOURS OF END OF AUCTION (UNLESS YOU HAVE MADE PRIOR ARRANGEMENTS WITH US; WE WORK WITH OUR BUYERS). WE DO NOT CHARGE OR RUSH YOU ON STORAGE, BUT NOT SURE HOW LONG I CAN KEEP IT INSIDE. INSURE IT WHEN YOU PURCHASE IT. WE ARE IN HAIL COUNTRY. JUST CONTACT US AND KEEP US UPDATED ON PICKUP. WE DO NOT CHARGE TO HELP WITH LOADING. DENVER PICKUP IS A HASSLE, SO TRY TO CATCH THE SHUTTLE VAN TO AT LEAST STERLING, CO. BUS SERVICE COMES TO OGALLALA, NE. WE CAN NORMALLY GET SOMEBODY TO MAKE THE TRIP FOR ABOUT $50 CASH. THIS UNIT DOES NOT HAVE A SPARE TIRE OR TOOLS IN IT. IF YOU ARE GOING TO DRIVE IT, LET US KNOW AND WE WILL TRY TO WORK OUT SOMETHING WITH YOU TO COME UP WITH THAT STUFF. ALSO KEEP IN MIND; I DID NOT SERVICE THIS UNIT OR CHANGE GAS FILTER. MANY OF THESE WITH THIS KIND OF BODY GO ON ANOTHER CHASSIS AND THE BUYERS DON'T WANT A DIME SPENT ON WHAT'S HERE, SO THAT'S ABOUT WHAT I SPENT. WE ALSO HAVE A BUNCH OF THESE WE ARE PARTING, SO IF YOU AREN'T GOING TO USE IT FOR A DONOR; TALK TO US ABOUT WHEELS AND TIRES. USED 16.5S TO NEW. As for us: We are Dodson Motors, Inc. at 219 N.
