    guess it could be a tow rig for someone.
    anyone want parts?
    my $400 school district truck isnt to bad. 94 460 with 25k miles o nthe truck, plow, dump body, new tires, and a front 60.

    now how come i can never drive home anything i buy? maybe because if i bought anything that runs drives and stops i would think i paid to much.

    $400 for a front D60 is a great deal as it is. You will have no problems selling the 460 either, or any of the drivetrain for that matter. The dumpbed outta bring a couple hundred bucks easy too. Nice find!

    What is wrong with it, its worth more running and then you might find that you need it or want it.

    Well, I can answer why you can never drive them home, you keep buying Fords! ;) LOL, just kidding. Nice score. But is that a D60 or one of those half-breed D50s? Looks like the dump has been hauling salt? Could be a nice handy truck if it's salvageable, otherwise, easy money parting it out (particularly if it is a HP D60).

    its really rusty, and has no brakes(due to rust im shure it needs lines front to back, and wheel cylinders) the front fuel tank fell out(straps broke) while i was towing it home also......

    and yes, its a d60 front, that i can convert to single rear wheel staus by using d50 wheel hubs.

    i know its agood deal for a d60 front, but i have gotten better. $100 ones are nice.
    i am the local guy in chciago to get 60 fronts from.
    have gotten cheap and resold atleast 1 and 1/2 dozen in the last 2-3
    years

    How much do you want for the 460? Does it run?

    When you have a second can you snap some pictures of the engine? Just so I can get an idea of rust.
