My Dad's first Ford ever
 
Well Ford owes me one for converting a diehard Chevy man. :lol:

We went to a Richie Brothers auction to get Dad a different farm truck and came home with a 2002 F250 with a 5.4 and 155K miles.

Of course we couldn't test drive it first and when we got it home we found out it was only hitting on 7 cylinders.

i figured it was a coil so I tried to switch it out and the nut molded to the manifold was stripped.

I ended up having to pull the entire intake manifold to get that bolt out!

Luckily I had an extra intake manifold laying around that came with my supercharger. And luckily I knew what I was doing since I just did my blower install last week.

Long story short.....it runs great now!

He had to give 4K for this thing. That sound about right?

It's a old construction truck, a/c seems to be the only option, it is 4x4, and it's kinda beat up.

I just got my dad into a 2010 Fushion, he gave his 2003 Camry to my brother :D

yah 4k sounds about right if the body isnt too rough. Regular cab 8'?

yea regular cab, long bed. or 8' at least.

headache rack, fairly junky toolbox.

it's not too rough. I mean it looks pretty good from 10' away at least.

It's a TX truck so hopefully he won't have to worry about rust for a while.
