Bought a truck today. 88 f150, extended cab long bed. Not my first choice but seemed like a good deal. Hopefully it'll turn out. Gotta do a little work to get it going. Needs an in-tank fuel pump or two, and a brake line.

The high pressure pump on the frame, the fuel tank selector valve, and the selector switch were all just replaced. So hopefully the problem is narrowed to the in-tank pumps.

Most of it has been addressed. There is a little starting on the wheel wells again, but very slightly. It's a backyard paint job, but it was fairly well done. The floor boards have the typical rot, but the truck is overall much much cleaner than anything else I have come across.

This guy didn't really want to sell. He is moving back to PA, and just didn't have the time to get it up and running 100% for the trip. I had come across a few good ones recently, but just didn't get into communication quick enough and they sold. I was lucky to catch this one quick. I have been actively searching for at least 2 months now.

Good Morning Gents,
Nice and brisk out this morning. Installed 4" MBRP Exhaust this weekend and did some rustproofing. Install was not too bad just kind of a pain to align downpipe to the turbo. Finally had to get the wife under the truck to hold the pipe. Hopefully the UPS guy will deliver DP Infinity and tunes today!!!!
Have a great day,
Jim
