This is a great truck and has served me well, I have restored or upgraded almost every part of this truck and it is currently running and driving great and has plenty of power. Easily gets up to freeway speeds and still has extra power when going 70-90mph. It does have a few issues, it's an old Ford truck, but nothing major and I will list those below. It is my daily driver and has been for the past year or so. Here is a list of just some of the things that have been done in the past 2 years to the truck:

Extensive Engine Rebuild at 181,000 Miles
Fuel System Rebuild
Full Steering Rebuild
New Wheel Bearings
Aftermarket 20x12" Vision Wheels and Aftermarket 35" Arturo Trail Blade Boss Tires 
250A Alternator
New Battery
Aftermarket Gauges
Upgraded Sound System
Emissions System Rebuild (excluding catalytic converter)
Torque Convertor replacement
Etc.

The truck does have a few issues that may need to be addressed in the future:

1. The transmission does not like the cold and often has trouble shifting into 1st at a stop without a good amount of throttle. It likely just needs an adjustment to a cable or vacuum modulator. Just haven't had time or money to look into it. Fluid has been flushed.
2. Oil cooler lines have a steady leak, but I have all the lines and adapters needed to repair this that will come with the truck. There are no other major leaks 
3. Brakes work, but need some work. They are soft and could use a rebuild. I have driven with them in their current condition for years with no issues but you do have to give it a strong foot.
4. Exterior Cosmetics are not great, I have started on restoring the paint but only got as far as respraying clear coat on the hood. The truck looks good but not great up close.
5. Needs a new catalytic converter


This is a great truck and can be a great project or camp rig or work truck. It is ready to daily right now. I am selling it because I can't afford to keep filling it up with gas. My loss your gain, it's treated me well and will be a great truck. These trucks are increasing in value and are rare in this area.

I have spare parts and diagnostic tools that will come with the truck.

Call or Text James with offers or with questions. I have thousands of pictures and can answer anything.
