That is a beautiful old truck!

Were power windows/door locks even available in 84??? Also was a black interior available??? I have never seen an 80's style dash that was black. This guy is saying all original though.

30 grand? You can buy a new one for that...

I never understood the concept of "saving" regular vehicles. It's not like it's a 'Vette or early Mustang.

Yes, power locks and windows were available. I'm surprised they were on an XL, though. My '84 (which was built 3 months before that rig was) is an XLT with factory power locks and windows.

Re: the black interior, I know it was an option on '80-'86 trucks, but it's not common...

How do you even keep a truck that long and only put 5k on it?

Hey Darrin wasn't that guy selling that one a while ago 'for a friend'? It seems to me I remember it and it was a dealer conversion to the dually since 4x4 and dually weren't available in the pickup at that time.
Still a nice looking rig though.

i was skeptical at the 5400 original miles look at how greasy the intake is when i put a new alum intake on a motor it takes 10-20k to get nasty looking like that.

And why take a low mileage truck and put an alum intake and aftermarket carb

No one is reading the fine print. The original owner worked at the Ford plant and added options that normally wouldn't be installed. And this is the "original" engine that was installed. He bought the 1970 engine and sat on it until he decided to put it in this truck. So it never really had any other engine. Or so they claim!

 

[WildWest]

Yeah or so he says im still skeptical you think someone that worked at a ford plant could install an intake without it leaking oil

And that horrible fuel line going to feed the carb .

I think this is a restoration that the guy who sold it to him told him a fish story.

Nice truck dont get me wrong but for 30k id build 6 just like it.

You should know better than to ask a Chevy guy that! I would never spend that much on 20 year old vehicle. I wonder how much the 6 offers were for that he declined?

 

[WildWest]

never know maybe i otta ask seller a question and ask him lol
