    '72 Comet, '75 Maverick, '85 F150 4x4 ,'93 F150,'75 F100,'77 Jeep Wagoneer,'91 Dodge D250 Cummins,'90 F150 xtra cab 4x4, '93 F150 4x4
    I found this one about the time I traded for the Dodge. Not as nice, but here's the good;
    '93 F250 XLT
    extracab longbed
    factory buckets/console
    4x4 (works good)
    3.55 gears (weird for a 250 around here, most got 3.73 or 4.10s)
    5.8/ automatic (E4OD?)
    tight suspension & brakes. Drives great.
    and the bad;
    276k-but the engine's probably got around 100k, runs strong
    tranny works good cold, when hot there's no reverse/1st
    bed kinda beat up, but not rusty, one fender has a couple dents
    little rust on one side in the extracab rocker
    needs tires
    needs a wiper motor
    needs a driver's side mirror
    needs a MAJOR cleaning up/out
    needs a windshield (cracked, not busted)
    These years (92-96)are my favorites behind the '73-79s.Try & get some pics this weekend, it got dark on me today. Even though it's a little rough, I couldn't resist driving it home for $400...

    I'd take the Cummins from the Dodge and put it in that!

    That would make a killer truck, if I had the time/ talent to pull it off.
