New here - NC farmer / sawmill owner
An acquaintance from a milling and forestry forum recommended this forum to me. I recently acquired a 1990 F250 2wd project with a 7.3 idi and 5 speed. The truck has 168K miles on it and has been parked for several years due to a leaky oil cooler. I'm in the process of bringing it back to...- scsmith42
