I found a good deal on a truck the other day, it is out of state and I'm leaving today to go get it. I found a 1990 with 139k and the engine only has 39k. The truck is a CCLB, XLT, 5 speed 4x4, with 7.3. The body is pretty good with a few dings in the bed. The truck belongs to a farmer that retired it a few years ago, he got a new truck years ago and none of his guys would drive this one cause it was too long.

I'll post pictures up this week.

You lucky SOB, you get a Dana 60 with it!

Glow plugs arent much of a problem (anymore than using autolites in OBS 7.3 PSD's). Let us know how it runs, what MPG's it gets on the way back, and any smoke.

How much are you paying for it?

Sweet score. I have a huge softspot for those year trucks in cclb 4 wheel drive configuration. Growing up, a neighbor had one that was red, lifted, and then a black 92 cclb 4x4 5speed at the same time...lifted also...two sweet rides.

I am pulling it back on a trailer, it has set for years so I hope to get it going this weekend. The guy I got it from is extremely trustworthy and assured me it ran like a champ when parked. I bought it for 500.00 by the way.

My brothers 93 has been sitting almost as long as my truck. Kept getting air after it started, then died, then wouldn't start. Took tank out and now she sits.

I may put a 93 turbo motor in it . Basically I just plan to go over it and get it whipped back into a reliable daily driver so I have a extra vehicle. I'm fairly new to the ford idi so I have a lot to learn

Hell I was reading through this and I was thinking, why does this guy keep commenting back and forth with himself? I then saw the different names and realized that your pictures are about the school shooting........boy do I feel like an a$$.
