Bought one!

It's an '86 F-250 4x4 standard cab 6.9L and T-19 4-speed. It's exactly like my old '86 truck (which I rolled) but a different color. Can't say I'm fond of the white.



It's making me very nostalgic about my old '86. I think this one needs to be repainted to match the old one.

Smartass. Isn't "recall" a big word for you?

Can't say for sure. Haven't picked it up yet, just one short test drive and we agreed on a price. I have to go to the bank and pick it up later.

I liked the test drive.

Heck no, not at all! I was never rough on that truck at all!

The salt tore it up good....

Floors rattled on the highway, engine loud being an IDI, smokey on a cold start and was pretty slow
