Looks clean and straight!

Might need some paint for perfection, but other than that shes a good lookin' truck.


Get rid of those rims though, they look horrible on it!

Stores in Canada don't have the same names as the States, but when ever I was traveling in the States, I always loved O'Reilley. They seemed to have most of whatever I ever needed on short notice. They should have Motorcraft plugs.

Congrats on the new truck! I knew you could get it for a grand. I have heard O'Reilly's has the Motorcraft plugs. I hope those Autolites don't get stuck on you. I think you got a real good deal with that truck being 4x4 and all. How's the rust?

hardly any rust whats so ever the only rust is surface rust on top of the cab where the paint has peeled away

Good score on the truck! O'Reilley does carry motocraft gp's, they were $11.49 each last year when I bought them.

so everybody the truck was to good to be true. today i went out to start it and it wont fire up. i didnt plug it in last night because its not that cold here. i tried multiple time all day to get it to start but nothing. i plugged it in for about an hour or so thinkin maybe the GP's are bad but still wont fire. it turns over fine and everything i sprayed some startin fluid in just to see if it would work(i know its bad to use but i just had to see and i only used a tiny bit) it fired right up on the fluid then shut off. so im guessing new injectors and injector pump???? but the thing is it ran perfectly fine yesterday started up fine everytime and i drove it about an hour... what do you guys think???
