so the time has come that i have outgrown my ranger
I was searching craigslist and found a 1992 f-250 extended cab, long bed, 4x4, 5speed, 460 big block, power doors, dual tank, 6inch lift, and clean interior for ~3k
First i do realise it is a 21 year old truck, and im not expecting a like new truck but i am a sucker for this body style of ford.
Here is where i need you guys help,
Are there any pecific things i should look at with these trucks out side of the norm? Anything with the 460? Any of you SAS guys got tips for the axles and hubs? I know these trucks were pretty bullit proof but i dont want to pay 3k and end up dumping 6 in it to make it road worthy.
He is about 400 miles away so ill hop a one way flight and go look at the truck with the hopes of driving it home.
