Back in the Game Again!
I sold my last ford when I needed the down payment for my new house. I have been without a truck for the last few years, but decided I needed to get one again. I was pretty much looking for a beater until I cam accross this gem. It was a barn find with only 27K miles. Body is excellent and everything works like new. I do have to paint the frame, it has some surface rust due to sitting, but it's not bad.

He was pretty firm at $8,000, but after some wheeling and dealing over a few day period I got it for $6300 cash. I got the carfax with it as well too. Some older guy had it, and used to mainly tow his boat to the lake, which was only like 5 miles away. I couldn't be happier with the truck.

I would leave that truck inside my living room (museum style), then buy a more used one to drive around.
