It's a one family owner. Father bought it new son got it when he died and was driving it on cross country camping trips once per year until 09. Surface rust but not a single spot to push through. Cab is tight and paint looks new under mats.
Best part, I bought it site unseen. Thought I was just buying the rebuilt motor, but taking truck to get it. When I saw it I knew that plan had changed. I'm told this patina is the new big thing and I'd be an idiot to paint it. Is there anything to that? |

I should mention that I really don't like the look of most of the front ends of the new pickups, but yours looks really damned good. |

Like to see some picks of some classic trucks...old custom classics, fast muscle trucks (Lightning/SS/SRT10).
If I was talented, I would love to get an old 1956ish F100 and drop a 5.0 in it.... ...but I chose to live vicariously through the ones in the thread who know what they are doing. :-) Show off those trucks!

My old durango started knocking from the lower end of the motor so it was time for an upgrade. Got a 2013 f150 lariat supercrew with the 3.5 twin turbo ecoboost a couple months back.
I wasn't a ford guy either. Test drove a dodge 1500 laramie with 5.7 hemi before the Ford and I was surprisingly more impressed with the f150. Anyone else here have a 3.5 ecoboost? or does anyone have any experience with putting a tuner on them? |
