yea a buddy of mine just bought one 2 months ago. motor wise its still stock (for now) , but the drop kit and helper bags are already on it. talk about crazy, the previous owner passed away (not in the truck haha) and his wife took a few of his vehicles in and traded them in for one new vehicle. after he bought the truck he found a journal in the glove box that had a record of EVERYTHING that ever happened to the truck. ie-gas, oil changes and a MOTOR REBUILD. chasis had no miles on it to begin with...and now the motor is brand new. that would NEVER happen to me!

ill give him the compliments sir. im trying to get him on here, but we shall see if that happens. he is trying to keep it (for the most part) stock looking because of how rare the truck is....but he did already change out the grill and slam it haha

Don't laugh too hard... back then, the 5.0 Ford motor was pumping out a whopping 165 HP. It was sad.

Thankfully things have improved.

Stock, that 260 HP ran mid 15's quarter mile.
Not much power, but good on the torque.

Agreed

80's and early 90's engine performance was pitiful at best. Thank god things got better quick!
