THIS IS A 1983 FORD F-250 4 WHEEL DRIVE, WITH A MANUEL 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION. WITH A 6.9 LITER DIESEL I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK FOR 2 YEARS. MY INTENTIONS WERE TO COMPLETELY RESTORE IT LIKE NEW. AFTER I BOUGHT IT, I DROVE IT AROUND FOR A FEW DAYS, THE MOTOR RAN FINE, THE CLUTCH, AND TRANSMISSION WORKED WELL. AFTER I PARKED IT, I DON'T KNOW IF IT RAN OUT OF GAS (DON'T KNOW IF GAS GAGE WORKS OR NOT), OR IF THE FUEL PUMP OR FUEL FILTER FAILED. I DON'T KNOW. SO, I JUST LEFT IT PARKED. AT THE TIME I WASN'T PREPARED TO START WORKING ON IT ANYWAY. IT DOES FIRE WITH STARTING FLUID SO, I KNOW IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE IGNITION SYSTEM. SO, AT THIS TIME THE TRUCK IS NOT IN RUNNING CONDITION. BEFORE I BOUGHT IT, I BRIEFLY CHECKED OUT THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND IT WORKED FINE. IT HAS A BENCH SEAT THAT NEEDS TO BE RE DONE OR REPLACED. ITS ALL THERE, IT JUST HAS SOME TEARS ON IT, ALSO THE MIRROR ON THE DRIVERS DOOR IS MISSING. THE WINDSHIELD HAS A COUPLE OF CRACKS, BUT NOT IN THE LINE OF SIGHT. IT HAS SOME RUST ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT FENDER (IT LOOKS LIKE A EASY FIX), THERE IS A PICTURE OF THAT FENDER. OTHER THAN THAT, THE BODY IS STRAIGHT. IT HAS BEEN SITTING FOR 2 YEARS. THE BATTERIES WERE DEAD, SO I REMOVED THEM. THEY WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. I'M SELLING THE TRUCK AS IS. ALL THE BAD THINGS BEEN SAID, HERE ARE SOME THINGS ON THE PLUS SIDE. ( IT'S A FORD!!!) ALL OF THE RUBBER IS IN GOOD SHAPE. IT HAS A STEEL FLAT BED THAT HAS A HATCH IN THE CENTER THAT YOU CAN LIFT UP TO REVEAL THE MECHANISM THAT ATTACHES TO A 5TH WHEEL TRAILER. IT ALSO HAS A LARGE STEEL RECEIVER HITCH ATTACHED TO PULL A BOAT OR TRAILER. THIS FLATBED CAN SERVE A DUEL PULLING PURPOSE AND IS BUILT VERY STRONG. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURES, IT HAS DUEL EXHAUST STACKS THAT ARE LIKE NEW. THE ODOMETER READS 53,000 MILES. I WAS TOLD THESE WERE ACTUAL MILES. I HAVE NO WAY OF TOTALLY CONFIRMING THIS BUT, I DON'T THINK THIS IS THE KIND OF TRUCK THAT MOST PEOPLE USE AS A DAILY DRIVER. I THINK IT WAS MOSTLY USED TO PULL BOATS AND CAMPERS AND SUCH. THIS IS REALLY A GREAT TRUCK THAT DOESN'T NEED MUCH (SHE JUST NEEDS A LITTLE TLC). I FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS TRUCK BECAUSE IT'S SO COOL LOOKING (IT LOOKS LIKE A BIG TONKA TRUCK). SINCE I BOUGHT IT MY LIFE HAS CHANGED AND I DON'T THE HAVE TIME OR MY FRIEND JIM (WHO WAS A GREAT MECHANIC AND PASSED AWAY LAST FALL) TO HELP ME WORK ON IT ANYMORE. YOU CAN EMAIL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR FEEL FREE TO CALL ME DIRECTLY AT 402-706-0607. MY NAME IS DAVID On Aug-06-11 at 05:43:56 PDT, seller added the following information: BY THE WAY: PLEASE DON'T THINK I'M SELLING THIS TRUCK SO CHEAP BECAUSE ITS A PIECE OF CRAP. I WOULDN'T OF BOUGHT A PIECE OF CRAP. AFTER MY BUDDY DIED I JUST LOST THE HEART TO WORK ON IT. IT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE OUR NEXT NEW PROJECT. I AM ONLY ASKING WHAT I PAID FOR IT, WHICH IS $2,000 ( I KNOW MAN....SOMETIMES THE GOOD STUFF JUST FALLS IN YOUR LAP!!! )
