Freightrain Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I've been lurking around trying to find an f150 version. Only problem is they want $10k for a 1/2 ton gasser.

RedBullDog Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I would love to find one that nice with the earlier IDI 6.9 or 7.3 with the 4 doors. I had a 91 single cab several years back. Hopefully this next summer I could afford it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kscarbel2 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 You're right Tim, the 90s vintage were the definitive F-Series. And that one is cherry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked for quite a while to find one like this. Sent a photo of it to Max and he wants to drive it when he is back for Xmas from NZ. Here is his 97 before he left it NZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Freightrain Posted December 10, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 10, 2015 Lost this one 6 yrs ago: '95, it was so nice..........and still trying to replace it.My brand new '96, 460/auto. I put a Vortech supercharger on it. Wow..that was fun to drive then.I even raced it one Wednesday night.It ran 15.8's with the blower. The Lightnings of the day would go mid/low 15's. There was one there that night and he came over wondering how the heck my big ol dually was running so fast. Only bad deal was the E4OD shifted for crap and you couldn't really get anything for them back then. You had to lift the throttle and let it shift and get back into the fuel. If not you'd just burn it up as it slipped away. Was all stock, just a turbo muffler and turndown so it had a nice little burble to the idle and a slight whine from the blower.Currently:1989............gets the job done but just not the same as the '92-96 models. 3 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

mike69mackman Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Nice looking ride Tim! Larry that blue one was nice. Think I would've bought that back from the insurance company and found a good body shop with a frame machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Maikshilo Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 Sold the "96" to a gent from South Carolina. He flew up and drove it home. So then went and picked this 2001 Lariat LE up with 122000 miles. Should be home next week.I think I'll like this one except for the stupid hood scoops. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
