Bought a new to me truck.

Well, I bought a truck last week.

It's my First f150 I've ever owned.


1995 F-150

4.9L 300ci.
XL. Power Nothing. haha

Bought from the original owner with 215,000 miles.

I love it already.

The interior is also SPOTLESS.

Three pics. In three days

Brought home:


Yesterday


Today

looks good cleaned up. the I6 is a great motor and will run for damn near forever if you treat it right.

Good for you, FWIW that is my favorite body style Ford ever built (close second is the 73-79).

Thanks guys.

My dad had a 70's something, 88, and 94 or 95 as well. All with the same engine.


I love this way more then the 2000 s-10 I was driving. Lol

congrats. what did you pay for it. the 300 inline 6 is an awsome motor. i have never seen one in person with under 125000 miles. with 215000 miles your motor is just breaking in. the old ups trucks had the 300 6 cyl. in them and they'd last them damn near half a million miles.

I thought it was a good deal

that is a good deal...sucks about the rash above the wheel well though

and I agree about that I-6...only missing 2 cubes but all the power of the 302...not to mention is will last forever

my I-6 had 127k when I sold it and it was still going strong 2 yrs later at 155k the last time I saw it


oh yeah, I like your spray can methods.

Here's some engine pictures. If you want anything specific, let me know.

Oh yeah, and some of the truck cleaned up. Should be ordering Por-15 and the fender flares soon!

seeing your truck makes me want to go get another 92-96 F-150. I love that body style...but it would have to be 4x4

Nice truck. Mine is very similar and I see we both have a knack for rattle-can's. Mine's a 1995 xl long box 4.9l auto. Cruise, Tilt and AC are the only options. 124,000 miles on it now, was 116,000 3 years ago when I bought it.



Just got done putting the 08 F150 emblems on it.
