Hi guys, it's been a while since i was here, so it's time for an update. Thanks again to all who replied to my previous thread about looking for a ride: https://www.heavyequipmentforums.com/showthread.php?23158-Looking-for-My-First-Truck!/page2

About a month ago, I ended up finding an '86 F-350 with the 6.9 IDI on the other side of town for a decent price. had it checked over by me and three of my also mechanically-inclined friends, the old man, and our mechanic, and it passed all inspections :D. Now, she's sitting in the back driveway while I enjoy the cheaper insurance and faster acceleration of the Buick a little longer. :cool2

Since I don't have time to resize my pics, here's the link to them.

Nice looking truck! I have 3 diesel F250s that span 83 to 86. That is my favorite body style and the trucks were built to work. They have become a hobbie of sorts.
