My neighbor has just offered me his 1986 Ford F250. 2wd, Auto 7.3 n/a. Regular cab. Transmission has been rebuilt and has less than 200 miles on it. I haven't gotten a clear story as to what is wrong with the engine. I do know that squirrels has nested in then engine compartment and wreaked havoc on the wiring. They have attempted to fix the wiring. There may be nothing wrong with the engine. But I do know that they purchased a 93 idi with an ATS turbo. There are 2 spare oil coolers and a complete front end off of an 83 F250. The truck is pretty straight no rust that I can see. The 93 idi was rebuilt, but the guy that rebuilt it timed it by ear. He ran it too hot and burnt a hole in on of the pistons. The motor is complete minus injectors. Someone stole them.
Bottom line, price is 1200. I need some opinions. I can post pics of the truck as soon as I take some. I may do this deal just to part it out. Maybe I could make a few bucks. I don't know. I really don't need anymore projects. But this seems like a really good deal. Almost too good to pass up.
