Well my son and i took the plunge and purchased a 1986 F-250 6.9 2wd with c-6 , with 103 on it yesterday. The truck had been sitting for six months after starter failed and owner put wrong starter in and chewed up flexplate. I wall not able to see it run before purchase but for $500.00 bucks and the fact that my son knows owner and assured me it ran when parked. So we put a new starter in yesterday and it turns over but flexplate is in need of replacement. I could not get it to fire but it was 34 dgrees in Virginia yesterday. So off to the shop to have flexplate replaced. What would you guys do first, or check for first?
