Ah, you finally drove that van out into the bush to abandon it? You could have at least sold it for scrap.

Here's my '93 IDI N/A leaving my uncle's house with the '89 carri-lite 5'er I bought from him. I guess you could say I like old stuff!

Here's my new 84 F250 XL 6.9 4spd. My grandfather bought it new in 83, and put 306,000 miles on it before putting it in the shed about 5 years ago. Apparently I told him I wanted the truck when I was 12, and after 12 more years, he decided to hand it down to me. Pics are after a good cleaning, tinting the windows, and a good once over with a buffer. Getting into these IDI's to find some extra power, the possibility of adding an air conditioner, and some new wheels/tires and a flatbed. Overall it's a great old truck and has a lot of value to me since i grew up driving it, and learned how to drive a manual trans for the first time in it too!

Dang, that is a nice Rig! Makes mine look like a junk heap. Odd question though, If the truck is an 84, how than can it be new from 83?

Truck was ordered near the end of 83 but he didn't take delivery until early 84. Used as a workhorse for his beekeeping business for many years.
