Well today i was driving back home from work in the Rubi, and noticed
a HUGE 1987 F250 sitting for sale in a lot. I pulled in and checked
it out, it had a fuel injected 300 Straight six with 37IN Goodyears,
and looked like their was plenty of room for 44IN tires under the
truck. Man! I'm not kidding i will need a ladder just to get in this
truck if i do get it. The guy wants $3500 OBO for it, but i'm going
to check it out to see if there is anything really worn or getting
ready to go out. My Rubi looked like a dwarf parked beside the truck.
And from what i am told, i've never owned a FORD 300 Straight six,
but i'm told they have mounds of torque, and can actually out pull
most v8's. I'm guessing the truck has Dana 60 axles, they look
nothing like Ford axles. And i'm wondering what gear ratio it has.I
also noticed
it had the front locking hubs. If anyone is familiar with these axles
or the Ford 300 six engine. please let me know. The truck has an O.K.
paint job, but the interior seats are ripped and i can tell it needs
some work, but the lift is freaking huge. I stand 6 foot 2 In tall,
and the tailgate side rails/hood of the truck sits higher than the
top of my head! One thing worried me though it did not have a state
inspection sticker.
i talked the guy down to $2250. what do you think? should i buy it?
here's pics.
