Title: My first truck! (with pics) Post by: MadMudder on February 08, 2008, 09:40:25 PM Hey guys me and my dad picked up my first truck today! I turned 16 last month but cant get my license untill march but we saw a good deal and bought it. The truck is a 1986 ford F-150 but the bed is off of a 92. The engine was rebuilt not too long ago. It need a little work but i like it and its a good starter truck. Pics below:

But whats up with the tach? haha ford didnt put tachs in there trucks till 95 i think? maybe later... so the aftermarket tach on the column was the way to go. Title: Re: My first truck!

needless to say I like the regular cabs and flaresides (http://fordtruckworld.tenmagazines.com/gallery/idamann/372986.jpg) Id@ Title: Re: My first truck! (with pics) Post by: MadMudder on February 09, 2008, 09:28:34 PM Actually...its an automatic, what your lookin at is 4WD. The tach we havent gotten to work yet.. kinda messed with it today but really couldnt get it going. Anyway ill have some new pics. I spent most of my day washing it. Washed, claybared, hand waxed. Soon were gonna clean up the rims and make them look shiny again. ;) (also it has a factory tach in it. the one on the steering coloum is aftermarket)

New 302 V8 motor and c4 tranny. Great truck. I even took out a seat out of a 96 f-150 and put it in there and it looked good. I should of kept that truck because if I did I would have had so much money saved up.

The guy drove it thru wet concrete so it was all hazed up and had specks of concrete dried on it. I waxed out the haze then just kept a layer of wax on it and took an SoS pad and knife and scraped it off. Took about an hour but turned out so nice.
