i just acquired my grandfathers truck that he bought new, it only has 50 thousand miles on it. Has been garaged since new, and always taken care of.
For being in Maine all it's life it's in great shape, but the age and lack of use has taken it's toll on a few parts. It needs a tune up and after my 650 mile trip this weekend it needs new brakes and brake fluid. It's had 3 exhausts on it and I'll build the last one it will ever get. I'm planning on all stainless everything. I'd even like to find a set of stainless headErs for it, o a set of shorty mustang headers if they fit (I'll test fit a set I have before I buy stainless ones)
I'm not new to the forum or these trucks, just first post in this forum stating what I just acquired. I have a 00 psd and a 77 f150 2wd sb with 460 and victor heads and an f800 marmen Herrington 4x4 as well as lots of yard and work trucks.

 

Well I actually think the truck may be a 90. It has a build date of 03/90

Here are some pics

3/4 the way from ME to PA



stating the obvious

 

Nice, it's always nice getting a truck that you know the complete history of.

 

Nice truck and cool story. Clay bar and wax it, and make that paint bright again

 

those running boards will come right off.

 

But then there would be no step!

 

HAHA
yeah, unfortunatly the running boards are removing themselves. the running board had gone all the way to the rear wheel well before the trip. Ive had to fix them every other year for the past6 years, between the rattling and the lights not working. I have a brand new set of polished stainless step tubes for the xcab, with stainless brackets and hardware.
I also have a new set of polished aluminum diamondplate bedrail protectors.

 

It will be getting a good bath soon. The pic makes it look like its dull paint, but its actually covered with pollen. It has a really nice paintjob, being in the garage all day and every day for the past 20 years.
It was only used to bring the boat to the lake or tow the small camper. Other then that gram always used the caddy.
The inside of the bed is just as shiny as the rest, LOL.

 

I completely forgot most all the details. all factory stuff
50k miles
351w (5.8)
automatic trans
cruise control
a/c
power windows and locks
rear swaybar
3.55 gears (bummed no lsd)
4x4 (bummed no dual shocks in front..but when did they start that)

 

It will get washed when it rains...I know you.

 

ive never been to MS....how do you know me, lol (inside joke sorry)

Ewa has said that SHE will make sure the truck is clean so that gram wont be upset with me....AND she told me that it will stay in the garage when im not using it...

 

You mean Missery, MO?

I'd believe it if Ewa is going to do it. haha
