new rig

I know shes not an OB, but mine gets poor mileage due in part to a heavy foot, so I snagged this off Fleebay as my new dd. Getting tired of the minivan scene.

Awesome truck, every time I look at a 97+ F150 I like them more and more.

You know they did make those for a couple years in a light 3/4 ton... That's a really nice pickup though! She's gonna HAUL with that 5-speed and that is one of the only 1/2 ton manual T-cases I've ever seen! Nice score!

Almost bought one, with 180k hard miles, for not much less than this one, and it was a slushbox with an e-case,

Thanks for the encouraging words. My brother has had 2 and just beat the crap out of them, and did next to no maitance. They both live well into the 200s. I guess if I kill it, a 4bt might look good in there.

Should be a good truck... my Dad has its bigger brother 87 F-250 4x4 EC 5.4 4x4 Auto.... and yes the 7 lugs......

Just watch out for the spitting spark plugs.... Dad had one on the right side spit out right after he got it....... alum. head and 2 or 3 threads holding the plug in.....

They are a good truck. I had a 97 4wd w a 5speed, 4.2 V6. I bought it @ 150k and put a jasper reman in it(bad head gasket). I put another 50k in a year flogging the crap out of the truck(had to, it had 3:08 gears). Then I FINALLY put 4:10s in it. It was a totally new truck. Went from 15mpg to 22mpg and had power. Had the truck another 50k then sold it to a old guy down the street. I dont think he has put 5k on it in the past 4 years

Here's my last one. 4.2 5 speed 3.55 gears. Was a great truck.

Squats like my chevy extended cab with a small load of wood in it. thats one of the reasons I went to a larger truck. Was probally pretty good on gas with the 5 speed tho huh?

It wasn't great it got about 15-19 mpg. My idi can do that and haul more wood.
