What Ive done to my truck

First this is my first post.
Second Hello Im New to the Forum.
3rd I have a 1988 Ford F250 Super cab It only has 52000 miles on it
Its like new. So to this date I have done nothing to this truck.
It even still smells like a Newer Truck. Its Black.
It was owned by an Elderly couple and kept in the Garage. The owner was great on keeping records and taking care of it
I do not think I will change anything. It even gets ok Gas mileage. 18 in the city with a 5 speed with a granny gear and over drive

oops! It is a 95 amp 3G. My brain must have been in reverse! It has an output of 110 amps at 3.5K rpm.

Tomorrow (or technically today - it is after midnight.) I am putting 400 plus miles on it. I am helping a couple of friends move. I am hauling one of their cars for them.
