What $600 bought me...
1989 F-250 4X4 longbed. High mileage, but strong running 302, 5 speed manual, new clutch, junkyard find tranny that works very well.

I have to replace the windshield this week, repair rusted wheel wells this spring, and rattlecan the paint.

I'll be checking out rims at the local pick and pull, looking for steelies...I like the look of them.

Sweet, really good buy! I've seen a few deals like this around me but never have the spare cash to pick them up.

I just picked this one up for $150, needed rear shocks and brakelines. It, too, has 300i and A4OD in it and everything works. Only has 9000 on a NAPA rebuilt engine The 4x4 works just fine. The pile of repair receipts boggles my mind. Was owned by a Christian radio station and they kept meticulas records since it was all a tax write-off.
