Need some Advice
I'm looking at the following truck:
http://racingrides.com/100_0550.jpg
It's a 1900 4x2 F-150 (I was told by the friend of the owner, looks like a F-250 to me?).
The Interier is brand new, back seats are a 'bench' style and the front are 2 bucket seats. It's an automatic with a 351. The only thing it really needs is a good sand down, primer, and paint. Frame has about 90,000 miles on it, but the engine is fresh with only 3,000 miles.
I'm taking a test drive in it tommorow (Or today since it's 12:45am here). Anything I should look for in particular?
Also, if it runs good I'm going to buy it. If I do buy it, does anyone have any tips on what kind of upgrades should I do on it? I'm buying a new set of tires even though the ones on the truck right now have very good tread. They have 2 different brands of tires and I'm going to get a matching pair. I was thinking 32's-33's so I don't have to lift the suspension or body.
Any ideas for the paint? I was thinking a Petty Blue, but not really sure... Still a month or two down the road.
Thanks!
