68 F350 crew cab in SoCal, lifted...

[Calfdemon]

Not mine. Roof looks like someone was beating on it with a pipe, but still not a bad deal for a crew if lifted to the sky is your thing:

Even with the roof beat up it's still a good looking truck.

When I see a truck like that I can't help but wonder what kind of hack job 4wd conversion was performed on that truck. Since it doesn't mention anything about the 4wd conversion I can only assume it was an amature job. I could be wrong though.

How can you tell it was converted to 4wd vs being factory?

I sure don't know what he means about being "converted from column shift to shift kit..."

Other than the roof, it looks decent in the pics, but pics can hide a lot. I'd need to see more pics and better in detail before I'd commit. I'm still looking for a crew, just don't have money:(

The ad says "no offer refused". Offer him $500

Because there were no F350's 4x4 bump sides made from the factory. The pickup appears to be a longbed crew so it would make sense that it is an F350. To do a conversion, they either had to do some interesting fab work to the front frame or did a frame swap of some kind.

Looking at this pic it looks like it's one of many trucks that never got finished, (front driveshaft missing)?
Makes me wonder if it even has a transfer case in it?

Ah. It didn't even register as a 350 in my brain vs a 250. I didn't know any of the crews were made in longbed either, I figured all the longbeds had been a conversion, from the talk I've seen on the forums.

That pic does seem to be missing the driveshaft. I was also looking for a shifter of any kind in the interior pic but couldn't find one.

All 4x4's were short beds, and 4x4 crew's were only available as F250's. 2wd F100, F250, or F350 crew's were available with a long bed.
