Can't believe you still have this. I think I saw it on Pirate a while ago. Wish I had the money because its a heck of a deal. You are close enough to me I could make the trip in a weekend and taxes are coming up, hmmm. Was the bare metal painted and has it been parked outside?

Shipping? Fly and drive baby.:smiley_drive:

Make sure you add some weight to the back of your FC150 especially with a Mercedes diesel up front. Would they custom make that blind to fit your bed? From what I remember of my FC170 that I had years ago it had an odd size bed. Lets see some pictures of your FC150.:victory:

I had a 78 Cherokee Chief Levi edition a long time back, it had a 360, T-18, Dana 20, and 44's front and rear. That 74 should be pretty similar to mine. No Dana 18, it would be a 20. Of course this is assuming it is still stock/unmodified. They are easy to work on. Be prepared to do some...

$4-5k on a stock Flatty and use the rest to drive it from Prudhoe Bay to Ushuaia, Argentina, and it would be the long way.:)

What campground did you stay at in Grants Pass? I grew up in N CA and have been through Grants Pass many many times. I love that area.

I worked hot air balloons in Napa for a while and its on my bucket list to make the Albuquerque balloon show. Nice pics.

You will be better off keeping it gas and trying to get another mile or two out of your mpg's. Diesel fuel costs quite a bit more than gas now and I doubt it will ever go back down. The cost of the parts to do the conversion will be quite a bit too. If you can't fabricate, cut and weld then...

Awesome pictures as I sit here having just shoveled off 20cm of wet slushy snow off my driveway. Thanks for sharing.

I got Robbie Gordons autograph in the early ninties on a Rough Riders poster, had that thing for years 'til I got married. Then in the late ninties I got to see him and his trophy truck one Thanksgiving at Glamis. That dude is one serious racer.:wings: Hope he does well this year.

I'm not afraid of the Mercedes 2.7 inline and 3.0 V-6 that power Sprinters. They are actually pretty good engines but they cost when they break. Any electronic diesel engine is expensive to repair, the Mercedes and VM Mortori engines are usually more than a Cummins, Powerstroke, or Duramax but...

Guys have put all sorts of engines in them. If you are serious about buying it and turning it into a tow rig then go to M715zone.com and you will find everything you want to know about them and more. If you go the Cummins 6bt route then you will want to swap axles too which will get you better...

I had a room mate back when I was young and single that worked at Parker Plastics, I remember him telling me how they made those. Bump for nice box.

Which might be why its for sale. Last I checked Portland OR had a smog check program.

I had a 86 CC DRW 4x4 with a 454/SM465 in those exact colors. Man I miss it. You have a nice truck.

I could see the stick shift. Reading the description it sounds like its been put together from a few different Chevy rigs. I did wonder about the SM465 and NP203 combo though.

Ahhh a M-725. I will help you say no by taking it myself.:) I would love to have one of those in decent shape, the one I have is pretty rough. It would go good with my M-715's and M-38.

I hear you about your car being a rolling bear snack with little kids. My youngest is now 7 so its getting better but I can remember taking multi day trips with 2 or 3 kids in car seats and it seemed like there was more food and drinks spilled in the back seat than were actually eaten.:)

I happen to have a Jeep I would tow 8k lbs with. Its a 5/4 ton but sadly Jeep stopped making them decades ago.:)

One, you can never have too many Jeeps. Jeeps are to guys what shoes are to women. Two, add a Rubicon to your collection.:)
