Fix it? Scrap it? Trade it? - 1987 F250

[02AutoWag]

This truck is located in West Sacramento, CA.

The truck in question:
http://www.oilburners.net/forums/showthread.php?t=26887

Runs well, but it's got a C6 and turns too high for my taste at 65MPH.

Fix it?
Rear driver brake cylinder needs to be replaced.
Rear running lights do not work- switch replaced, no difference.
AC was retrofitted to R134, but does not currently blow cold.
Radiator spits fluid out when hot until 3/4" from top of radiator cap, but then stops.

Scrap it for parts?
Who wants what? Speak now. It may disappear this evening if my wife has anything to say about it.

Scrap it whole?
Will donate to non-profit charity.

Trade it?
Anyone local want to supply and install hydroboost in my 1989 CC?

ACT FAST IF YOU WANT PARTS OR WHOLE. Wife wants it gone!

---Rear driver brake cylinder needs to be replaced.
---Rear running lights do not work- switch replaced, no difference.
---AC was retrofitted to R134, but does not currently blow cold.
---Radiator spits fluid out when hot until 3/4" from top of radiator cap, but then stops.

---Replace it, they are cheap.
---Checked bulbs? Traced wires? Probably something simple.
---
---Get a burp tank, or leave it and check regularly, this dosn't seem abnormal to me, if it keeps going away then you have a problem.

Would you sell me the instrument cluster. I really really really need one.

towcat / NapaBavarian,

Which one of you want it?
Bring and install a hydroboost.
Bring and install a second auto tranny cooler.
Also need a rear cargo light.

I've already swapped wheels with my other truck, so it has steels and hubcaps now.
My father-inlaw also wants the tailgate and rear driver tail light.

Let me what you're willing to do.
The sooner the better.
Come and get it.

when I left my last job, I was given a '76 2002 for a departing gift
not a good replacement for my former M6, but close

In cleaning the truck, I found the kickplate with the fuse box layout.

Fuse #4 (upper right most fuse, 15A) fixed my rear running lights.

74-76 were bad years, the bumpers & body reinforcements made it 3-400# heavier, emissions took the not-so-extra hp away, I had a '76 after having a '69 and thought it was broken but cheaper to repair than an M6 we are well north of 2 dozen, probably at 3 dozen BMWs around here but only 1 true M car

I'm gonna need that why is I'm wondering how much work it'll be to stuff that engine in my '77 F250?

imho there is no second to a grey market M6.
brute force of torque and acceleration of an american musclecar and the high speed finesse of a autobahn cruiser. "motorspeed west" tuned the monster to have torque on tap at 1k rpm and top out at 150 mph. that made for a trully stellar ride none of my Buicks could ever come close to what that monster was capable of
