Has been a decent truck for me. Needed some work when I purchased it. Now have it running great and use it almost every day. Has a stock 5.0 engine in it. Have replaced the carb, ignition module, fuel pump and battery. Other than that it is all original.

351M, C6 trans, stock 9" Ford rearend, body is in good condition considering the year. Although its a truck, you would be surprised by the execellent handling. The interior is in awesome shape, maybe one or two rips in the seat. The dash cover and both door panels have been painted semi-gloss black. Overall its a very nice and well taken care of truck.

overall a great truck that looks beautiful and runs like a dream (that is after you let it warm up, like all other vehicles from the 80's). it has the turning radias of a small yacht, the acceleration of a snail, and gas milage of a tank. still you cant help but Love the heck out of these trucks.

The performance is outstanding it has a 460 c.i.d with a overhauled transmission the acceleration, braking, and handling goes will smooth. Yes it has needed repairs from the suspension to the power-steering box but other than that, thats all it needed. The truck is very fun to drive i usually get into trouble with it.
