Well..the other day I picked up a new toy...
It's an 1987 F-150. It's no great beauty...but runs great. It's got the 4.9 I6 motor, which runs and idles better than most motors in newer cars driving around. I also can't believe how nice it rides going down the road and on the freeway, it is unbelievable!
As you can see in the pictures..it has a little multi-coloredness going on now..but that will be changing soon. I'm planning on painting it either gloss black, or flat black..not sure which yet...
It's in good shape overall. Not too much rust..some, though. And a few dents..but nothing bad. Interior is in great condition. My biggest problem with it is the fact that the brights are stuck on..I suspect the floor switch at fault..and also the bottom of the tailgate is rusted, so the hinge is broken. Besides those issues, I'm one happy guy!
Here's the "beauty"...
My explorer feels a little left out though..hasn't been driven since the "new guy" showed up on Saturday.
