Sic looking rig but powered by a 391 gasser and weighing at 40 000lbs? Probably got .5mpg at a top speed of 70kmh. Not much wonder it only has 32 000 miles on it.

if you are concerned with low gas mileage this is not the vehicle for you! ha definitely not a weekend trip vehicle, $55,500. US$ not bad deal for what you'd be getting, might have problems in a few tight spots. would be great for weeklong trips! (y) :beer:

Those Ford cab overs are,,, are,,, are...

Ok,,, they are junk...

Been there done that at our farm a loooooong time ago...

They come with the loosest 5 speed shifting tower... a chunky 2 speed rear diff,,, smok'en hot floor boards,,, zero room for your furry feet and the seats are the most uncomfortable seat you've ever sat on...

Loud in the cab,,, they rattle on the smoothest of roads and lots of other issues... Too much too list...

The low mileage is due too it being broken down and no one would ever want too get caught driving it...

It might be worth it to a collectors,,, it ain't worth nothing to the average sled person...

Can you imagine driving that single axle unit threw the mountains in the winter time...

Oh look,,, there it goes up the mountain on the icey hwy,,, no,,, no,,, no... oh oh oh,,, here it comes,,, guess they should of chained up... ha

5 mpr up hill,,, 85 mpr skidding backwards down the mountain,,, the ford cab over that's faster in reverse then going forward...

Hummmmm,,, a whole new demention into the sled world for sure...

Breaker One Nine,,, this is flat nose cab-eee come at yha over,,, clear the road below,,, no Jake and no brakes...

Big and Green and looking Mean,,, keep those bias-ply tires rolling good buddy...

Now thinking about,,, Imdoo'n wants one... lol

Imdoo'n living in his camper Wangon down by the river... Ha

ha, ya would be a sit wagon for sure, sit for a week or two, move on to the next. not my cup of brew, though, way to much of everything for this hombre. needs a place to work on sled, although i guess you could do a tarp/parachute shelter.

when I see that green shag all I can think about is how bad it would smell, 47 years of moisture, dirt and cooking smells. Uggh.

Yep, might want to swap the carpet at the same time.
