  1. Break out the buffer and polish the paint back to a nice factory shine
  2. Fix the step below the drivers door where its loose at the rear
  3. MAYBE a lift and some tires that are a little more aggressive if you want
  4. Complete tune-up, change all the fluids, etc
  5. ENJOY HAVING FOUND A NICE CLEAN OBS TRUCK!!

1. pull the fiberglass steps off sense the one on the drivers side is missing the end of it.
2. get some rubbing compound and some wax and go to town on the paint
3. take a power ball and some mothers to the wheels.
4. get on craigslist and find a tool box for cheap. maybe even some nice 31x10.50's or some 32x11.50's.
5. I would tint the windows would look great with the gray.
6. find a nice cherry bomb or flowmaster and get it sounding good.

But most important do a good tune up or atleast check over of all the filiters,oil change, plugs and wires if needed top off all the fluids front and rear diffs. and trans.

Then run the s*** out of that ford like it was ment to!

I love these trucks and it looks like you got a pretty good one. If your low on funds, and sounds like you are, you can still do some things that don't cost anything but will get you an idea of hat you'll be needing to do in the future.

1: Polish the wheels. Less than $10.00 I'd say. You'd be amazed what a difference nice wheels will do for a vehicle.

2: Remove the side steps. The drivers side is beat up enough to grab attention. Also, you can check around that area of the body for rust starting to bubble up.

3: Check the wheel wells for rust starting to form, or if it's been previously fixed. Probably not the case though because the trim is still on it. But, the trim is also a culprit for holding moisture that will start the rust. While your in the back, check the spring hangers for rust. Don't get discouraged if they are rotting some, it's quite common depending on your location and not expensive to replace if you can do it yourself. I did my 95 F-150 when I first bought it, and both rear hangers (fronts were good enough to leave alone) and shackles were around $80.00 online.

Most important be proud of it, and have fun with it.
