My search for another idi to add to the collection continues. I've found a few that were close but all either too expensive or auto or 2 wheel drive. Closest I got was the van I had posted about but it had a blown head gasket. Selection process is rough in pa.

So I'm going to attempt to look at this on my three day weekend. 85 F250, 4 wheel drive, 4 speed. I have a t18 in my one gasser and I love that transmission to death and since this is more to have a second idi then any real purposeful use for it I'd at least be getting plenty of parts for 700$..
I just hate when stuff has not been registered. He has the title, and I know I'll need to get a tailgate and fix some things (like I can't even tell if it has brake lights) but it looks to surprisingly not have a ton of rot and more just surface rust and dings. Just need to try and eyeball when I go to see it if there is anything so far gone that it wouldn't be fixable for inspection and make sure the frame didn't get messed up while plowing and if everything checks out maybe I'll have a new project.
