New here.

I am James. Im from NW, Ga
i have a 1989 Ford F-250 4x4 x-cab longbed
I drove it here for Ca and i blew the head gasket 50 miles east of OK city and towed it the rest of the way here. I was so upset with the truck braking down on my 5 times on the trip out here i let it sit till i was ready to work on it. well when i went to work ont it the motor was locked up. and I can even find the engine in this area for a desnt price so i am thinking about swaping out the 460 for a small block.

P.s. I left Cali with enough time to drive here to get to my mothers funeral and missed it by 2 days cause the truck was having problems and thats why i let it sit. that was just over a year ago.
