I have a 1974 for f-100 300 6 cylinder, no rado good tires, bad motor?
The truck has a bad motor. It is hard to shift , it had it on the floor where it used to be on the column. no radio nothing. 300 6 cylinder. bad motor. good looking truck and inside looks good. it needs new rubber to keep the doors and windows from ratling. i have 4 rims that come with the 1974 model. I would change the rear end it gets bad gas mileage but will pull a tree down. Should i sell it for 2,250 or spend 5-6 thousand to get it first class. insurance is cheap liability. tag cost me nothing because it had an antique tag. Tags in MS. can run up to ,200.00 per year. Ususally about 0.00 for a ford mustang about a year old. I am considering getting me a 750-1000 series moror cycle to run errands about Jackson. It cost a lot to live in Jackson MS.
If you can get $2250 for it you better jump on it, and while you are at it I have A 76 supercab with low milage 460 that you can sell for me for the same price.
Where im from that truck would only bring $500-$750, considering a salvage yard motor will run u an additional $500.Resell value on these trucks is very low to start with, so not worth fixing up unless it has sentimental value. believe me i own 3 customized models of these trucks and i cant give them away.
