Just bought another vehicle to add to the dwindling fleet. The blue oval is back in the sandlot. If you couldn't guess already it's a Ford. Not just any Ford though; A tough, reliable, showroom condition 1995 F250 Powerstroke Diesel. It's got a pretty bad case of Ford door, the interior and exterior are filthy, and the overall mechanical condition is questionable.
In it's defense, there are a plethora of modern ammenities integrated into the chassis; The wonders of powersteering, air conditioning, and believe it or not power windows. In all seriousness, why on Earth did I actually purchase this thing? Well, I do very much like the styling. And I do very much like the powertrain. And I do, very much so, like giving myself the challenge of working on beater vehicles. I hope to tap its full potential and use it for truck-like activities: Towing vehicles, helping Biden move out of the white house, offroad obstacles, etc. I ended up paying $4500 for this rig which might sound like a lot and it is. I guess, that's the 7.3 tax coming into play. I'm excited to start getting out there and doing stuff with it. Check out some pictures below of the beauty:
Possible bird strike identified... :(
Back of the truck...
Side of the truck. Some minor denting is visible to the expertly trained eye...
Interior of the truck. The dash is very cracked and it is pretty dirty in there...
As I'm sure you can tell by the pictures there is a lot of work to be done. I may very well document the repairs and upgrades I make to the truck on my Youtube channel. I intend to keep track of all costs associated with this build. Thank you very much for checking out this update.
