    1973 Ford 2WD

    I have a 1973 ford 2WD . This has been the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. 302V8 2bbl P/S P/B. The cab is in good condition. with 1 small rust hole by the driver seat. the bed interior is very good but the outside fenders are poor. I have purchased to replacement fender arches but have not installed them yet. I need to get rid of this vehicle is any one interested for $200. I will try to post pic .

    Hrmm..

    Does it run \ pass emissions (erm, 73 is emissions exempt I believe) \ street legal?

    Might be better for me to sell the TJ now and beat around in this for a few months. The price is certainly right.

    The pictures speak for themselves. The tires are good , they have about 25K on them. I have all four spoke rims. The dual Exhaust system was replaced about a year before I stopped driving it. However when the shop replaced it they used the old piece coming off of the driver side manifold. to the first curve, as a result it is rusting out now. The rest of the system is sound.

    Yes it runs and quite good, Engine tranny and drive train are all in good order.

    It will require the bed fenders being fixed and the drivers door patched before it will pass. All other lights and safety equipment work.

    Oh, the blower motor for the heater doesn't work. and column shifter is stiff, I disconnected it from the tranny and tried to lube and work it. Like I said it works but it's a little stiff, it should work loose with use.

    Pix are here

    The Bus is a 1970 Carpenter International Transit. The roof has been raised 18" The motor,RD406cu.in 6cyl gas engine, has beeen rebuilt and has approx 4000 miles on it. the transmissin , a STD 5speed is new and has 3000 miles on it. The interior is completely gutted

    Unit runs, but..... the Carb needs rebuilt, the valves are Mechanical and I think they need adjusted. And the exhaust rusted out this past year right in front of the Muffler.

    I repainted it two years ago, it still looks good except for the front roof.

    Now if your still interested ......... whats it worth to ya!
