I do like the "Real" Aluminum Wheels.
Small Grocery Cart dent in Driver's Door, and No Tailgate.
That will be a Fuel Injection 460 V8......
Make sure it has both fuel tanks, and get a Gas Company Credit Card with "Free Points" or a toaster at every 1,000 gallons purchased.

I had a neighbor buy virtually the same truck used, only 4-door, 460/auto, beautiful/dirt cheap. He used it to tow a trailer once and on a hill the inner fenders melted and caught on fire due to red-hot exhaust manifolds. He fixed it and sold it for even less than he bought if for. This was a Chrysler mechanic, not some regular-ol' guy, dude was pretty sharp but bitter about the truck. I'd pass unless you just want it for around town and not heavy-duty work.Last edited by Loren; August 22, 2023, 10:27 PM....

I went and looked at it this evening. It's a pretty decent old truck. It needs a few things, but most 30 plus year old trucks do need a few things.
It drives about like a one ton, twin I beam truck should. It didn't do anything weird. Rides kind of rough, (duh) and the engine stayed cool the entire time. 97+ degrees outside today.
Odometer shows 79,000 mi and that is completely believable. Interior is clean, underside of the truck is clean. It's a little dirty where the power steering pump leaks but what 30-year-old Ford power steering pump doesn't leak? Transmission did not appear to be leaking and the engine did not really appear to be leaking either. At least not anymore than I would expect from a 30-year-old engine. Power windows work, power locks work, still has the factory radio in it.
Brakes are a little soft, the master cylinder has been replaced, pedal is low and feels like everything needs to be bled real good. The front rubber brake lines definitely need to be replaced. Tires are good.
Rear is an open diff with 4.10's. Not real excited about 4.10's but whatever, it has overdrive so it's not terribly bad.
I might just have to snag it. Could make a good Cummins swap candidate at some point. Haha.Life is short. Be a do'er and not a shoulda done'er.
