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)

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.......
