New project

Moving right along with projects. My dad was wanting to sell the 98 Mazda B3000 4wd and buy a mid eighties F-150. Talking to a subcontractor of family business this morning, he tells my dad “you can have that old Ford I bought from you”. It’s an 87 F-150 lariet. 300 I6 with T-18 transmission. Hasn’t run in a couple years. Was running when parked. No rust and very little body damage. Couple small dents. But truck does show its 33 year age both inside and out. Really looking forward to this new project. Now to get Mazda up to snuff and get us some working capital for new toy.

Told my dad,”sometimes a bargain isn’t a bargain”. Told him if not road worthy after 2g would sell for 2g and move on.

Not seeing it, lol

I am thinking $300 for seat cover, brakes, fluids/filters and GLUE, and then sell it to a tradesman for $800-$1,000
