Ford Newb

Hey y'all -

Just got an 1989 F250 XLT Lariat, 4x4, 5-speed, 351W, SCLB. Speedo/odo are dead, but owner WAGGED around 130-140K miles. Her name is Freeda and we bought her to tow our trailer so we can camp.
I'm new to Fords...I mainly speak Euro and Japanese. I love the "truckness" and am looking forward to learning about her.

Matthew

Hey CC - thanks for the welcome. I'm in the Southeast. There seem to be a lot of these older Fords around here.
