Ok it's here in Anthony Florida, Sparr U-Pull yard, it's a light green truck.
only driverside front skirt missing, as long as scavengers haven't gotten to it in the past 4 days!

I'd love to have the red one, although it would get a new paint job asap. Can't afford it though, and I wouldn't be able to go to Alabama either.

My credo
A legend to the old man, a hero to the child...
My 2.9L with 300 and some odd thousand will actually walk my colorado with a 2.9L 4 cylinder and a 5sp.

.....and that colorado has smoked more then a few 2.3L Rangers.

Now my nephew has a 87 Shortbox with a 2.9L with some goodies in it, 2.8 pistons, cam, some other little things, and with 4.10 gears and a 5sp it will walk all over just about any V6 and 5.0L F150's.

later,
Dustin

but the body kits give better aerodynamics, and make them go like 1000 miles per minute, and that downforce just cuts right through the wind and makes them use like next to no gas, they get like 123 miles per quart of gas. those trucks are so worth like a milli easy. :icon_rofl: :icon_rofl: :icon_rofl: :icon_rofl: im sorry im retarded
