New but not new

Hi,

Joined long ago apparently but just bought a new to me Ford F-250 yesterday. I'm down in Tucson, AZ and been looking for a truck for hunting trips and little mudding fun during monsoon season with the kids. Picking it up next week from friend of ex's family. it's a '78 F250 Custom 4x4. has 400M and C6 auto. Been siting for most of the last 9 years other then a drive around his property a few times a year. He was thinking of selling and talked him into it for $1500. he's going to rebuild the carb, install the new radiator, and reinstall the rear fuel tank for me and hopefully pick it up next week. Rest of the fixing is up to me, which i don't mind. it's coming with 2 sets of 33's and rims.
