New 1993 XLT 4x4 farm truck

[SuwanneeJim]

Hello,

Was looking for a truck to haul stuff around the farm and maybe to the dump while renovating a house on our property. Maybe try to pull up some small stumps and drag some logs fro A to B.
Found this one on CL for $825
Already missing the passenger front seat…so that means I can haul more stuff.
206,000 miles. No leaks and gets down the road.

Welcome to this forum! It looks good considering its age & mileage.

Thanks. Kinda rough on the dash… some cracks and feels loose around the 4x4 buttons
A couple rust spots on both sides rear fender. Frame and wheel wells are solid though. I suppose some sanding and primer will keep it at bay for a while.
Overall…. It seems like it will a great farm vehicle .

You could get a fabric dashboard cover. I once bought one for my 1988 van many years ago.

The low buy in makes it nice. I've done basically the same thing with Aerostar vans, buy them cheap for work vehicles and use them as 1 ton trucks on my day off.

Oh, really? Wasn't aware of that, at least it's a tank, not a real powerhouse but it'll last!
