I got my first truck

Howdy fellas. I just picked up my first truck. I am not new to automobiles, as I am 36 and a decent mechanic, but I have only owned and worked on cars thus far. Some of you may have seen a few threads I have started the past few days, as there are a couple things I am hearing in the front end that I'm trying to diagnose. Anyway, I just thought I'd share my new toy with you guys. It is a 94 F150 4x4 302 AT with 80k miles. I drove 2 hours to look at this truck, and something told me to bring my money with me. I am excited to join the community and I look forward to many years with you guys on here, both learning my truck and sharing ideas in the forum. Here she is

That was definitely babied. Doesn't even look like there is any junk under that hood. I can't wait to restore my old and tired beast. 96 F250 7.5L pushing 350k. Only thing that I have replaced is the clutch and I've kept up with Motorcraft only maintenance. Keep with that Motorcraft and that Ford will love you with the same amount of miles as mine.

When you say Motorcraft only maintenance, are you referring to fluids and filters or all maintenance parts? Is Motorcraft a Ford brand, kinda like AC Delco for GM?

Awesome truck.
