Yup 80-86 is where its at for sure. I'm glad i got the 83' from my dad. They are getting hard to find in my area now that I have money to buy a vehicle. We almost got rid of it a few times...

OP keep your auction truck.

I recently bought an 84 F250HD SC, with t-19 and 460 for $700 bucks. I got a bunch of other parts which I have been selling and have totally about $150-200 in net sales for that stuff. I have purchased a new holley carb, dizzy, cap, wires, rotor, air filter, oil, pcv valve, coolant, sea foam etc. So on the later end of $400 for parts thus far.

I need a rebuilt kit for the trans which is abour $200 bucks. Gasket kit for my motor and new fordracing valve covers about $100.
I am throwing a lift on it for about $700 bucks.

Its much cheaper to do it the way I am doing it plus I already know so much more then I did before. I have worked in mechanics and still know more now having older guys in my family, and neighbors who work on their own rigs, and are mechanics help me.
