Fix or upgrade

I have a 90 f250 automatic with a 6" block lift. It has a leak in the front axle the auto locks were removed before I bought it and the drivers window won't roll up. My question is should I sell it and buy a less damaged full size truck or fix it up?

What else is wrong with it? I see you posted about a brake problem in another thread.

Just a front axle leak, no lockouts, sticky brakes, and a window that won't go up? I could have all that fixed in a weekend so if it was mine and the rest of the truck was in decent shape, I'd keep it.

Thanks for the input. Other than a rusted muffler there are only aesthetic things wrong with it.

X2 for fixing it if the rest of it is in good shape. Those aren't major problems and can be fixed pretty easily.

Lift blocks front and rear? If so remove that and do it right or just put it back to stock and enjoy the fuel savings. If the window that won't go up is powered it's just the bushings in the gear drive.. a very cheap fix.
