IF it is then I am sitting on a gold mine... I have 2 73-79 Ford 1/2 tons sitting out here... Both extended cab... I was going to call the wrecker, but I am going to use one to put PB and PS on my truck...
Might as well part the other out to finance my habit (68 Ford F100)
is this a good deal?

Nope, don't do it! It's a pretty big rip off. You can get all of these parts with the ibeams attached for under $150 at any junk yard. It's good thinking on their part and I'm sure they will sell a lot, but you can save a bunch of money with a couple of hours of work at the junk yard.

I agree....you can buy a complete non-running parts truck for what he's asking, or just spend the afternoon at the local salvage yard and get it for a LOT less.

dont buy those from that guy. he is fishing to rip someone off. that is ridculus. for the price you could not only buy a parts truck. you could get a good running parts truck.

thanks for your advice guys. I found a nice 74' f100 at a local junkyard that should have everything I need.

Heck, you can get a kit from MPP for pricing similar to that with new rotors, bearings, calipers, pads etc.......
