BIG BUCKS sitting right there! Looks like this is advertised by a company whose clientele are people with way too much money!

Is pretty sweet looking though.

Seems to be a lot of money for what it is but already has front and rear bumpers and rock sliders:

Another Disco:

And a Defender 110. I know nothing about this particular truck but could be a way into a coil sprung but still very untilitarian Land Rover:

A very early example of a 110, be sure to have a good look at the chassis and bulkhead.

that defender is sweet. the first discovery would posted seems to be in a rough shape for the price they are asking. i saw a mint one a couple months ago when i bought my fj in NB with the v8 with crower cams in it, BFGs A/T and a bunch of upgrades for 8500$.

Finding a Disco worth having is becoming very hard. RUST has claimed most.... the worst kind of rust, hidden rust. People have paid silly amounts of money for a Disco 1 or 2 because it looked good on the outside (mostly aluminum body panels...) only to find out soon after that most of the steel that the aluminum is attached to is gone. A late 80s to mid 90s disco usually looks better from the outside than another brand of similar year because the aluminum body panels hide the real issues...

Not a kijiji find but...

May get myself a 3/4 canvas tilt sooner than I'd planned:

Aftermarket 3/4 canvas hoods that are worth having go for about 350 GBP plus shipping.... I'm at 55GBP so far...

Interesting. It looks like a short wheel base, stepside, and it says F250 (3/4 ton) an dyou might be able to see the rear hubs.

But usually 3/4 tons came with long boxes, if not fleet side as well. It can carry a heavy load but there isn't a enough room to put the heavy load in!

I met the owner of that Ford 2 years ago at the Digby Irving Big Stop (was in Digby for my great uncle's funeral). If it is the same condition today, the price is not too bad. The guy was a straight shooter...he spent as much time chatting & looking over his rig, as we did the Xterra!

I don't even want to know the MPG, but with that motor, any gear head will have swelling on some part of their body!

Nice I would like to see this old gmc out wheeling but I already have one old truck.

how many cv joints do you think he would go through if he wheeled it?

1 or 2 every time he went out.

I think it would be towed home every time if he wheeled it.
