My Baby!

Check out my user gallery for my pics of my "new" truck. I know, it needs a bath! But Ford's are supposed to be dirty!

-Matt

P.S. Don't move this to User Announements & Introductions. The people that really want to see this truck are HERE! Does anyone else have pics of their truck?

I love that style. I'd like to have one of my own someday to keep the '86 company.

Excellent condition! Don't see a bit of rust. How's the interior?

The flairside '80- '86 I think is the best looking model Ford ever built.

dont see to many with the 4 seed od with the 302 efi, does it have a 9" rear ?

We have a truck with 302/4speed manual/9" with 245k on it right now, fires right up in this 0 degree weather and runs like a top with tons of power

The manual tranny makes em last

Nice looking truck no rust and you live in a snowy area , no salty roads there ?

Yeah, it is a nice truck. I bought it for $800 Canadian! I had to put another $800 in for the safety. It passed through the emission test with no problems! The previous owner did the body work 6 years ago. It needs a little body work on the cab corners and here and there. Not too bad though.
The interior is in pretty good shape. The dash has a couple cracks and the door panels are fading. The seat has a couple rips but I fixed that with a black seat cover. I think it has the 9" rear. No plate to take off on the back. I also believe it's limited slip too. On the highway going 100 km/h (60 m/h) i am going 1500 rpms! It's sweet. I don't really plan on towing anything with the truck so that's ok. The 3 speed plus OD takes what for tranny fluid? Gear oil or atf? It's a stick shift. I love it. Thanks for the compliments guys. Keep 'em coming!

nice looking truck. i put Valvoline Durablend 80w - 90 in my overdrive tranny hard to shift in the cold weather weve had here the last couple days. it took 2 full quarts to fill it. Get a good suction pump and it shouldnt take but about 10 minutes to change it as long as u get it warmed up good first. i paid 300 usd for mine and needs all the body pannels restored. and i have spent about 1000 on repairs in the last 2 years.
