I bought a truck. had a jacked up FSB, 6" with 35's. not so good driving in downtown chicago.

now I have a 92 F150, its a 4x4. Rust free from NC. 302/E40d/touch drive that works so far. It pushed fluid out the front seal when I tow stuff. Drivers door seal leaks, the auto lock does not work. Steering is loose, even with all new tie rods & drag links, time for a box. The rear tank fuel pump whines. The engine has some strange miss or vacuum leak, even with new plugs/wires/cap/rotor/fuel filter/cleaned EGR/cleaned IAC motor/new air filter/etc. probably has a dead cylinder. Which means I will probably build an engine for it, and put some better heads on it, and some more cam, and headers, and other crap that costs money. and it sags when I put over 250 lbs in the bed. fuel milage depends on which tank, what temp, what time of the month, how it "feels" and ranges anywhere from 10-18 mpg. I already have a limited slip diff for the back of it, but I would prefer a 3:73 or 31 gear to the 3:55 but that means doing the front and if I am going to do the front, I should put some diff in there, and all the bearings, and the shafts, hubs, brakes, etc. then I should do the trans, convert to manual hubs & a lever operated T-case, and some springs all the way around, pull out the crappy & way too stiff rancho RS5000's and put bilsteins in it. then it will be done, except for the CD Player, new driver seat, trans cooler, all new bushings everywhere, dual batteries, lights outside everywhere, new rear bumper, towing hookups with a brake controller and a pushbar. And a few thousand other things I cannot remember.
It never overheats, always starts, burns oil when you tow things, leaks trans fluid when you tow things, scares people out of your lane, rides like a truck, goes up snow covered hills like there is no tomorrow, has great heat & A/C, moves people, holds whatever engine junk I want and has hauled 5000lbs + of Fox body convertible on an aluminum trailer with 3 351W blocks & cranks, a 289 shortblock and various heads, intakes & other crap in the bed from my parents house in NJ over hill and dale across rt 80 to Chicago bleeding trans fluid all the way & drinking oil like a furnace but never let me down.
It needs stuff. I love it.
