Thoughts?
Alright guys, I am looking at getting back into a bullnose, and dabble in the diesel world to boot. What do you guys think? Thoughts, concerns? Things I should look for? I am pretty familiar with the trucks having rebuilt my 86 150, but not as familiar with the 350's or the 6.9's. The 150 I had was a 300-I6, so the "speed" thing isn't a concern for me. This will serve as just simply having a truck around again as a third vehicle. May turn into a project, but could also just be a runner.

Welcome back - I hope! However, I'm not sure about that truck. I know nothing about that engine, so won't comment. But the rot on the body and bed are concerning. How much work are you looking for?

The body, from looking at the pictures and from conversations with the guy, is actually better than my last truck. The worst I am told is the drivers side floor pan, which was the worst in the 150 I had as well. I have the means and friends with the ability to fix it, if needed. I try not to shy away from a truck out here that has rust because just about all of them do, especially in the price range I am looking at.
