Bought a 91 (56k be warned Pics inside)

Hello all, Been lurkin here for a bit. Seems to me you have a pretty good crowd in here. Now to the subject, Got a good deal on a 91 (least i hope it is) to replace my recently stolen dodge. Its an F-250 4x4 with a 351 and 5 speed (trans code w, any help with that code would greatly be appreciated) . Its got a few electrical gremlins and good rubber (lol tire went flat due to nail the day after i brought it home). The valve cover gaskets are leakin like they arent even there lol, need to adress that before i drive it. Anyways I Paid 2,250 for her, i think i can sleep with that. (Btw Not a speck of rust or major body damage anywhere, God i love arizona)

For not a lot of money you got a 4x4 Ford with 351 V8 and 5 speed, not bad! With a little work that will be a sweet truck. And that's half the fun of it, visualizing what you want it to be and getting there. Just don't be surprised if you spend another $2000 on goodies for it!

A lift and some loud pipes coming out the back would really kick-*** on that truck.

That's a good deal you got there.

The tranny is a ZF 5 speed. Very reliable and strong, but known to be noisy sometimes.
