Fnally Picked One Up
1990 F250 4x4 7.3 idi, single cab, long bed, 40,000 original miles.
Had to drive over 5 hours to get this, but it was a one owner farm truck and has been garaged every night for the last 22 years. The outside has a few scratches and small dents like you'd expect but the interior is mint condition. It's like it was just stuck in a time capsule as well as having original floor mats still in mint condition, and original owners manual and booklets still in the plastic.
Needs a little tlc like you'd expect for a 22 year old truck but overall im happy with the purchase, and it's pretty need that it's the same year I was born.
These are just the pictures when I got it home, but ive already took the horrid full length side steps off, original brake controller, etc. Kept them acourse in case anyone would be interested for whatever reason.
Might do a 92-96 front end, cruise control, and newer dash in the future but well see. Kind of don't want to change alot beens everything is factory original.

why, did you expect it to be bigger up front or smaller? I thought it was normal to be ttb 50 up front.
and it does have AC, its at the top over the radio.
am/fm radio with 6 presets, ac and heat works really good. Just no cruise, and manual windows and doors which that is fine by me. Just going to add the cruise and I need some new gears bad. It sucks gas above 55 being geared so low even with the 5 speed.

Thanks and I know what you mean which is why I jumped on it. I saw it wed and made contact with them and I had to work thurs night until 6am. As soon as I got off fri morning I stayed up and drove over 5 hours one way to get it, then over 5 hours back and went back to work fri night. Then just died all day saturday and recovered.
I probably never will be able to find another one like it, and im sure there isn't to many even left in this shape and low miles. If they are they are either not going to be sold or priced crazy high. It needs some tlc like you'd expect but it def was a lucky find and I will probably never get the opportunity again so I jumped on it.
(btw did you ever get my 2 PM's I sent you)

I must have missed the A/c compressor and lines.
The D44 was the standard axle until 92. The D50 was an option

oh ok. Im still debating whether or not to do a solid axle swap or throw money at the ttb 50.
and if you look in the one picture that shows the radio in the center of the picture, you can see the AC levers right above it.

hmm I guess they just throw the same ac unit inside the cab regardless if it had ac/heat or just heat?
will it be pretty easy to install like a kit is made, or is it something im going to have to piece together? Its winter here in KY so luckily I wont need it for atleast 4 or 5 months so I guess that gives me plenty of time.
