bought 95 f150

just bought this 95 f150 2 weeks ago and just picked it up. has 300 6 with 5 sod. its a xlt with all power options. everything seems to work exept the seat doesnt fill with air. the pump comes on when you push the button but wont fill up and the pside door lock doesnt work but dside works for that, steering column has all the goodies. the guy said it had a few new parts but looking it over today it has quite a few of new things that he didnt say. he said it has new leaf hanger that still needs putting in but the one on the truck is fine. came with new front brake pads that needs installing. has new distibutor. has brand spaking new interstate batterie, has new starter. i noticed the rear tires are brand new. fronts are 50% but dont hold air. has new radias arm brakets i see. hood latch needs fixing and grill needs zip tied on. came with a set of almost bald 31s in which one has a nail stuck in it. came with tool box. has 165xxx. has posi rearend. truck exaust sounds like **** but i only paid $700 and its my winter truck and summer beater. he was gonna junk it. had to take the plates off my dads truck to get it home. box and rear bumper shot. worked on the tailgate today got it to work. it wouldnt close after i opend it just lubed it up good. took the rear tailgate panel off so it wouldnt get destroyed. put the right tires on it and drove it around all day in the yard. i also see now that is got a pretty bad crack all the way up the frame right behind the left rear tire. im kinda pissed about that but i will either weld it or run it the way it is till is ****s out the rest of the way. this truck is growing on me i already bought a visor for it. also came with tool box. and i realized it was a fire company truck as to why the **** has been beat out of before because some of the interior trims and stuff are broke. wont shift into 4 low like dads truck cause the linkage is seized. hardly any of the idiot lights work. i am exicted though it has a tach.

Nice man. I just bought a '96 F-150 i6 5 speed a few months ago and i love the truck. mine isnt 4wd but I have brand new Firestone 31's on it and it has a 2inch lift on it. Sits up pretty good. Fun truck to cruise around in and the engine has plenty of power to get a job done if needed.

just weld that crack up good and run it. just make sure you watch out for the fuel lines and wire harness that run inside the frame rail.
