Only has 80k miles. Engine has 9K. Tranny has 300 miles.
New front seat and carpet.
Dual tanks, trailer brake controller.

Yeah the scrap 390... AKA spare parts/junk....:waiting:Yeah, no. That's all for me. If it wasn't an emissions no-no, it would make its way into my Bronco.

Yep, all F-250s were back then, with the exception of the 4-doors that is.
How come I don't get any f*cking emails from this site?

UPDATE: Got new tires, front end bushings, plug wires, cleaned the plugs, installed a tach, broke the speedo cable :-( , redid the wiring for the MSD box and the D-Spark tach (cleaned it up wuite a bit), richened the carb a bit, replaced a bunch of burned out bulbs, took out the camper wiring (it just unplugs under the bed), got a rear swaybar. Next junkyard run I'm getting a 3G and a Taurus fan. Had pics before the SuperFord crash.

So well, I haven't updated this thread in a bit.
Lately, I've:
installed a 770CFM Holley 4150 Street Avenger to replace the POS leaky 600CFM 4160.
installed Hedman longtube headers.
redid the exhaust.
rebuilt the heads (apparently I had a burnt valve since I bought it.
put in new steering linkage (steering box out).
bent the I-beams for good camber.
put in new speakers along with another dock for my Sirius radio.
Pics to follow.
