Nice score! I like the paint scheme on top of the cab.

Agreed. The factory regular tu-tone is sharp!

I had not even noticed......

now I got to figure out what I'm going to do with it.


the kid dumped a bunch of money into it, brakes, belts, hoses etc only to find out cost of fuel was more then he could afford...

it still has a few issues, but it drives real nice. little pulse on brake with a swish sound(booster) maybe. and needs a turn signal switch and windshield.


I'm thinking I could sell or trade it for a cab-over camper.......

Good deal. You can probably get most of those parts from Autozone.

If the rear window gasket or the sealant from the rain gutter seam to the back window leaks, water runs down the pillar and just sits where the seatbelt bolts through the floor.

Busted.

Looks like I need to get a hold of the mods. I need to get a new user identity, replace my trucks, and start a whole new FTE life.

Do they even have a user relocation program?

The truck really does look like a great upgrade from an escort.

Ed fix it up with all your parts and we could have a great slogan. "Good enough for Ed's truck, good enough for mine."
