I bought an old ford for 300 bucks and wanted to fix it up it is a 1976 ford f150 long bed regular cab?
It is 2wd only it needs a total engine rebuild and it needs to be machined by a shop it has no rust on the body it just needs a engine rebuild would it be worth it to fix it up and sell it for a profit
Yes, it would. Lots of people are wanting the older trucks.
Depends on how much money you end up sinking into it…
It totally would be worth it. If there's no rust the body and frame alone are worth 2500. Go find a ford 351 windsor motor and have the shop throw on 351 cleavland heads and make that truck roar!
Swap in a rebuilt engine unless you intend to do all the rebuilding except the machining. In that case, the only profit is paying yourself for your own labor.
These are climbing in value. We may want to consider keeping to for a while after working on it. An engine exchange is best quick way and we can get one from a breakers or exchange with a dealer etc. If we fit ourselves? Me can save but often its better to have an exchange with a warranty included as if we selling on or even keeping? It can add value.
- What year cab will fit a 1996 extra cab ford ranger? So i rolled my 1996 ford ranger extra cab the other day and need to do a cab swap, i was wondering if any other year would fit the cab mounts aswell? For example will a 2000 cab work?
- What automatic transmission fluid/oil do I need for a Ford Ranger 2006 regular cab? I'm looking around the net, but no luck. My dad is at Walmart trying to find the right one and needs it for his truck.
- Is the 1995 Chevy s10's regular cab bigger than the 1996 Ford Ranger's regular cab? I always heard that Chevy trucks have more cab room than old Ford trucks. I'm just thinking if a Chevy s10's regular cab is bigger then the Ford Ranger's regular cab. What's bigger and gives you more space? What smaller and hardly gives you any space?
- I just bought a ford fusion yesterday, and as soon as we bought it they notified us of a recall on it? Does anyone know of other recalls on this vehicle that we need to know about? the recall they just fixed was the most recent one with the power steering
