I just bought a classic beauty. 1995 F150 XLT Sup Cab autolocking 4x4 with captains chairs, running boards, power windows & locks, toolbox, bedliner, steel alloy rims, 2 gas tanks, vent windows, fog lights, dual chrome exhaust, sliding rear windaow, tow package and a beautiful electric blue color.

She runs great gets about 16 mpg at 60-65. 5 L EFI V-8. Bought her for 3650 and the gentleman even threw in an extra tire for free. She runs like a dream and blows cold sweet air. Have not made any mods. First ford I have ever owned, bought her last saturday.

Good man. Sounds a beauty. Can you post some pics?
The only thing I would suggest is to fit manual locking hubs. Other than that you are good to go.

All you need are some good mudders and a nice looking dual exhaust setup!

Gotta love these old Fords. They feel like tanks but ride and handle nicely.

Sounds like a sweet truck....Want to trade it for a '97 F250 with a half-removed leaking rear gas tank and three bed bolts that I can't get out?

Welcome to the site. You'll be hooked in no time.

Classic!?! When did Ford square bodies become classics? Model T, 40 coupe, 55 f100, 57 T-Bird, 65 Mustang--Classic. Mid 90's 1/2 ton--Nice, Cool, but not a classic.

I'm just messing with ya. Sounds like a great ride at a good price. Yea, get some manual hubs, watch your ground clearance, and don't pull too much with that 302 and 4R70W.
