Winter time is coming once again, and I found myself needing another vehicle. The '84 yota needs a new frame, so that's still parked. My '96 ram has a new used bed/doors/rockers waiting to be installed, and needs to be parked before one more winter turns it to dust. Don't have the heart to drive the Jeep or the Charger in the salt, so it was time for a new ride.

So we found this, 1988 F-150 4x4, straight six, 5 speed. Seems to be surprisingly solid body and frame wise.

Actually the first Ford I've ever owned. Still can't believe what used trucks are bringing these days, everybody wants 3k+ for rusted out junk! Paid $1700 for this, and it's actually the first vehicle I've ever bought that was able to be driven home under its own power! Took a while to find it, got a few good stories from CL sellers while looking...
