Testing the waters. Basically needed more seats....bigger dog
1989 F150 Custom 4x4 4.9 ZF5
Started building this truck in 2019. Dont know much of the history on the truck. Never carfax'd it. Anyways its pretty clean for what it is. Origional paint. It does have trail bruising which will be shown below. Ive done everything you could do to these trucks that makes it worth what im "asking". I will list below.
Engine (Normal maintenance stuff. Pretty much the only thing I havent really touched. Its a Ford 300. You cant break em.)
This truck has seen alot of adventure. From snow wheeling to two completed trips through the Rubicon to trips to yellostone and death valley. It will get you anywhere you want to get a fullsized rig through. Its never been denied in the snow. Does 65mph at 2200RPM and crawls when you want. This truck is amazing and took alot of work to build. Dont get me wrong I have used and abused this truck but always spent my weeknights and weekends maintaining it. Its a work of art but we no longer use it. Im sad to even think about letting it go but its time to move on. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Ive touched almost every bolt on this truck to get it to where it is. I have receipts for just about everything. Im currently trying to snuff out a vacumm leak for the climate control. Currently stuck on defrost. Thank you for your time.
Asking $18,000 OBO
