[Bill]

Does any one know how rare this conversion really is? I am not familiar with it.

OK Truck,, not worth what he thinks,, several things he is not showing in pictures or showing a wide area that makes me think he is hiding , and here is the BIGGEST misleading,,,,,,, THe Title says Factory Dually all Original Rare,,WELL read in description says it was added on +++ he run a body shop and if you where able to get to the rear end either its a F-350 dually with some wheel modifications or a 250 with longer wheel studs or adapters to turn it into a dually,, also s/s was added in cab corners and above rockers,, a lot of good things I see in the truck still that has not been butchered up

it can't be factory if it was added after. people are idiots. also, i think there was a discussion about that color on the valve covers.

Chris its hard to tell on the color of valve covers especially for me since he says the truck is beige and looks to me its Gold so type picture might not be getting it close to the true color

Looks like a very nice Slick.

I'd be concerned about the rust issues, both what I can see in the pictures and what's not shown - cab and radiator supports.
And, I believe both the front and rear bumpers are not original. (? ?)

Still, it's got alot of original interior in great shape, and the body is really straight.

I don't think he will get what he's asking; maybe in the $8K to $9K range, if the right person happens to come along.

Definitely a unique Slick with the dually wheels.

WRONG Bumper on the front of the truck so thats another strike against this truck, so as we keep checking morer and more will be uncovered

Yeah, the seller is FOS. First off, Ford did not license anybody to convert F250's to dually's because it would both bite into their F350 business and also because it changed the potential GVWR and the vehicle would have to be re-rated. Even if they did do something like that, it still would not be "factory", it would be no different than a Crown conversion. Also, note that there were many companies that did conversions and they were not Ford licensed, they just did it, it was common back then (still is). For example, you could still get a Napco conversion 4X4 even though Ford sold their own or you could still get a 66 Crown Crew Cab even though Ford was now making their own. Coach and body builders will always be around and Ford will always sell them fleet vehicles but that does not make them "factory". Finally, as has already been noted, there is a heck of a lot of mods to a "all original" truck. Hawkrod

those are 4 stock inny wheels with spacers not actual dually wheels.

Nice truck and I agree with all the comments so far, my 2 cents are; the truck has lived it's whole life in Minnisota and having spent a few years there myself I would be very interested to see the under side of the truck. I would not be suprised to see some really major rust issues there. The cab corners and the under hood shots are ,I think, are just the tip of the iceberg.
It's really sad that he isn't being completely honest about this truck.
