1990 F350 Ramp Truck $1000 if you can haul it away Dayton, OH

1990 F350 single cab, fuel injected 351W c6 automatic 4.10:1 final drive DRW. Needs a front fuel pump replacement, also the rear fuel tank installed and a filler neck, I have both pumps. It'll need batteries as it's been sitting a few years. Long enough none of the cars in the bg of the first pic are still there. It's taking up space in my life and I'm ready to move it on. I've got some cool extras, set of drop in shorty headers I pulled off the bargain rack at Summit, Hammer Store winch, a compcam's cam that should play nice with the old EFI , and if not, I have most (possibly all?) of the parts to convert to a later fuel injection system. Also lifters, timing chain/sprocket set.

Inside the garage are projects I'd much rather work on, but given I can't get them out with that truck in the way. It might fit on a regular open deck trailer, the wheelbase was never lengthened, so there's a lot of overhang. I think it weighs either 6 or 8000#. Come get it out of my life.

I am both happy and sad that this is 9 hours away. :) 

Good luck! 

Does it wheelie? I bet it could wheelie.

E36 M3, with that much overhang, it's tail-dragging before the front suspension is in full droop.

EDIT: man i want a ramp truck, but now is not the time and here is not the place.  GLWS!!!

So you're saying it comes with wheelie bars?

*stealth* wheelie bars

It's a fat truck, you ever seen an f350 do a wheelie?

I have considered installing bogey wheels at the rear, but it really doesn't bottom out any more frequently than the 28' trailer that made this truck redundant.

I have! Many years ago a friend worked construction for a very small company. I would occasionally help out since I worked 2nd shift and I could drive the manual F350 stake body truck. One day I discovered that while loaded with roofing shingles it would loft the front tires a few inches cresting an uphill exit from a job site. 

Me early spring job is in FL; depends on where my late spring job ends up being. And if I make enough this season! 
Hope for your sake it's gone by then, and my Financial Manager? She will REALLY want it to be!

Wow.. that's a TERRIBLE idea. I'm going to send it to a few friends to see if they'll join the Ramp Truck club. 

What's the rust situation on the bed? Definitely have a trailer and truck capable of getting it out of your way, but have to brain about it. 

In reply to Patrick :

I'll get pics underneath this afternoon. It's surface rust, because Ohio, but the bed is fairly thick, so I don't think it's much to be worried about. The bed was welded solidly to the frame, if it was bolted on or easily cut off I'd have done exactly that and put a normal bed on it.

In reply to Patrick :

Here's some pics. It looks like there's toolboxes from the outside, but they rusted away/were cut off and the doors welded up before I ever got it. Last one is one of the ramps pulled part way out and one of the wheel simulators. I think I've got 3 of the 4.  You can see it's accumulated "stuff" around it. Part of the reason I want to move it on, so I can clean up my life.

Thanks for the pics. I did some napkin math and don't think that overhang will make it in and out of my driveway. We have a weird setup because the driveway dips down to a sloped roadway so i fear it would just hang up and get me stuck half in/half out. For that, unfortunately, I'll have to pass. 

Sold to a local circle track guy. He's gonna throw a motor home 460 in it. 

Glad for ya.  

Now with that out of the way, I'll ask what I didn't ask before because I didn't want to queer your deal.  That is:

"How do you move this as a non-runner?"  

With that much rear overhang you can't lift the front wheels off the ground.  The beaver tail will scrape the ground before you can get any meaningful lift.  

Similarly, how can this be pulled up a ramp going either forward or in reverse?  

How long of a flat bed would be needed?  

Did the buyer already move it?  What kind of trailer?  
If he has not, please keep us updated to equipment used.  

In reply to John Welsh :

I believe they hoisted it the minimum by the bed to pull it to the street, then swapped the stinger to the front end. I don't even think they pulled the driveshaft. Was a local tow though. I don't think it would be possible to get it on a flatbed without the world's longest ramp. 
 

I definitely would have welded bogey wheels to prevent bottoming out if I were going to keep the truck.
