Wants 1600 buck for both....says the F3 cab and chassis will run.?? flat head six.....the F1 cab is a goes along with... F3 is a old dump box still has hoses, cylinders and pto box/pump....I don't really have room for both....but he won't separate... any thoughts on the price?? F3 is rough....floors and fenders are gone pretty much..f1 cab is solid....

ssimpala · Dec 22, 2014

The pictures don't look too bad, but I've learned that when someone from Michigan says "it's rough" that usually means plenty bad/pass. Good luck, Bill.

Sam_Fear · Dec 22, 2014

You could always put the F3 cab up for sale. That would save you $400 or so.

sgtpontiac · Dec 22, 2014

Yeah tried to get the F1 cab only....

Just won't sell one without the other.....offered him 400 for the f1 cab....said no....all or nothing....the f1 is pretty good.....doors are good and floor is workable....

sgtpontiac · Dec 22, 2014

Front of this allegedly "can run with some work"

F3.....the fenders are held on by metal straps that are screwed on....

ssimpala · Dec 22, 2014

Yep, plenty ruff...I'd pass.

I think he's dreaming!!!!
Send me all your money and I get you a good truck. Or do you have your heart set on a Ford instead?

sgtpontiac · Dec 22, 2014

No pops....just looking for a decent cab...

kid wants to try his hand at doing his own frame and making a "real" rat rod not one like "dads"....so what ya got?...Chevy would interest us more, but they are not abundant here.....same year area....49-50-or so....I'm focusing on my own project...so this would be up to him to do....

Willowbilly3 · Dec 22, 2014

Here's a couple F1's with an extra cab I will probably pickup. Montana tin, $600 for them all, no engines. So, yeah, not in this universe is that rusted stuff worth anywhere near the asking price IMO.

sgtpontiac · Dec 22, 2014

Wow...that stuff looks solid....

Keep me in mind if you get them......nothing that good around here.....at least not that I've been able to find...

I-R-POPS · Dec 22, 2014

There's a guy about 1/2 mile south of my place that has a really clean '50 chevy 350/350 drive train with a dead cylinder in the engine. He stopped by here last week wanting to sell it for $2000. I think it could be bought for 15 to 16 hundred. I almost had him talked into selling me the slotted mags off it for
$450. with the tires.

It's almost too nice to make a rat rod out of it. I think he needs money pretty
bad.

You can find some really solid dry desert truck cabs around here for $500 to
$700. It's a long ways from Michigan tho.

Yeah.....a bit of a way away's....

Missed out on a deal with 21willys a year ago...should have grabbed it....any chance you could grab a pic of this thing? Maybe 21 will be traveling around again down the road.....[S

I-R-POPS · Dec 22, 2014

There you go. You can't beat that!!

Old Iron · Dec 22, 2014

I will always pass on rusted out stuff over solid.
Your going to have the same amount of money in each at the end, with a helluva lot less work and aggravation.

I will see if I can catch him at home this week. I'll get back to you.

sgtpontiac · Dec 22, 2014

Amen to that....

the least rust the better.....just a little rust in MI that is the exception and not the rule....

That looks like a heck of a deal for rat rod material.

sgtpontiac · Dec 22, 2014

thanks.....appreciate it....

but don't screw up a holiday over it....I'm a firm believer in "if it's meant to be, it will be"....

Torchie · Dec 22, 2014

F1 ,F3 all the same cab.
Is there any paper work with either of theses Sgt?
Guy near me had an F-3 for sale at $800. Cab, frame, no engine. With a title.
