My NEW but OLD F150
I just got this 1995 F-150 XLT 4x4 regular cab with a 5.0L for a great deal, especially for the condition it's in. About the only rust is on the rear cab corners, I found out later that the rear wheel wells were fixed once.
I have a couple questions about it,
what are some good mods I can do with it? (like performance, mpg, looks, etc)
whats a good f150 forum?
how well would it pull my 98 Ranger on a flat bed?
Things already done:
changed oil
new rotors (warped bad)
tinted windows (it sucked @$$ lol)
wired a 7-pin trailer harness
To-Do list:
get it pro tinted a little darker
put a 2" hitch receiver on it
wire a brake controller to it
level the front end out and/or small lift
spray-in bed liner over the rails (plastic POS liner now lol)
Pics:
before i bought it
after a quick wash down
loaded and ready to go for memorial weekend
Let me know what you guys think!

Truck has lots of potential.
First thing...get rid of those fugly tails. They don't belong on that truck.
I'd also move that 4x4 sticker down.
Looks like it already has manual hubs, which is good. The auto hubs on these trucks are ****.
If you can't afford any kind of lift kit, but you want the truck to have a meaner stance, i'd suggest 32x11.50's.
A few words of advice though. If you're looking to tow with the truck, i'd keep it stock height with some smaller tires. I have a small lift and a set of 33's on my Bronco, with the 5.8L...its kinda dog with stock 3.55 gearing.
Check out FullSizeBronco.com...there is a lot of good info for Bronco's and F150's of that year.

Love the truck, but unfortunately that motor is your weak link. With some time and money you could get some better power out of it. With only 170hp it doesn't have much oomph to it. Love the truck though. We had a 94 regcab flareside in that red with the 5.0 in it. Loved it, but it needed more power.

Meh, I want a longbed lol. A regular cab shortbed just looks too short and not proportional to me.
Even my CCSB does not look proportional to me. I guess in a way I'm still used to the proportions of a crew cab long bed. I was even considering stretching the frame and making it a longbed before long when I pull the bed and cab to clean the frame.
