I would stay away from the 95 , it has a carb transplant on it , or a different motor , oil out the dip stick tube , PVC valve , most likely blow by....Lew

LMAO!

Soo you want 2 trucks or just 1 4x4?

I did the 2 trucks thing for a while but I ended up selling my 86 for more mod money for the Lightning. 2 trucks cost too much to maintain also.

May I suggest you look for something with overdrive if it's going to see a decent amount of pavement. Do not buy someone else's problem. I would avoid rust too. There's too many out there(especially in the SE) with out it.... While your at it, find one with MAF if you are still looking to build a motor. Tall order, I know, just be patient and selective.

No MAF, but here an example,
88 F150 4x4 Short bed
