First ford purchase!
G'Day I am looking at making my first ford purchase and figure there is no better place to start than a 4x4 F Truck!!
I live in Australia and over here they are highly priced for there age. For something in average condition I am looking at around $7,500 US and for a rig that has been restored in excellent condition without modification around $12,000 US.
What advice can people give me on things to check and look out for to make sure I get something that will last and not to out to be a bucket of *****!!
Cheers

Look sorry if you took offence especially over something so minor! I am aware there are terms in the use of these sites, as I am a member of numerous sites. However there is useualy a level of acceptability especially if masked.
I havent come here to rub anyone up the wrong way, just for some advice!! I will tread with more caution in future.
