Figured i would post up something for people to look at to waste time. Sold my 19 F250 since prices were crazy and picked up an 05 F350. The story i was told was: It was brought in for repairs, the person never paid so the repair shop put a lean on it and got it. Then the owner/operator cut a finger off and couldn't continue. Owner decides to sell, hires a consultant to help with the consolidation. Part of the sale is this F350, which is then sold. The buyer doesn't make all the payments, so it is repossessed. I find it on FB marketplace, check it out, and pick it up for $4400. Apparently the person who owned if for a while wants to graciously swap some nicer tire on it, but i don't think i will pursue that.
Anyways, it is a 2005 CCSB F350, V10 auto, XL 4x4. Has 110k? miles. It has a broken door handle and a blank key cylinder. I brought it home and parked it in the garage to begin the unfucking of the previous owners.
So far i have found new front handles/locks and a keyed ignition, so i dont have to start it with a screw driver. I had to tear apart the column to get the the ignition actuator which sucked. You may also notice the sweet bucket seats and center console, which didnt come from the factory. That all needs to go and i will replace it with take out 40/20/40 seats from whatever actually bolts in.
The door panels look like someone didnt know what they were doing and just tore them off instead of lifting off, so those might get replaced eventually. The door speakers were replaced with some 6.5s that are barely held in, so those need to go. I will eventually get a radio and some 6x8s that actually fit.
It also has some herculiner around the lower parts of the body. It partially covers some bondo, but otherwise the body is rust free. I will work on getting that off and seeing if my FIL will do some body work on yet another vehicle.
