Hi all, I was active here for a bit until I sold my old F 150. Now I have a brand new 1984 F 250 that hasn't run in two or three years. I am going to have a bunch of questions, and would happily provide a beverage to anyone in North Jersey who wants a look. I'll get some pictures up soon.

 

Welcome back, sounds a good project! What are your plans?

 

I need to get it running first, to see what I have. I know the history of the truck pretty well. The engine has been replaced, the rear diff has been rebuilt, as well as clutch, exhaust, alternator, fuel tank, etc, but as it is 30 years old, I'm sure some of it will need to be done again. Once I have it running my biggest concern is stopping the slowly spreading rot. I'll probably start with all new window and door rubber to keep the rain out, and caulk in the running lights. I intend to use this once a week or so when it is finished. I don't think I will overload it, but it will need to make it in and out of NYC. Thanks.

 

Nice! This forum will be an excellent resource for you - welcome!
