A few weeks ago I posted that I was contemplating an 88 F150.
I ended up getting it for $1500.
Previous owner gave up on it. Couldn't get it running right. Real rough, very hard starting.
Got it home, threw a timing light on it - timing was about 20 degrees off. As I turned the distributur the engine smoothed right out - starts real easy now.
Was overheating - but not bad. Fan clutch was junk, threw a new one one - solved that.
Replaced a few shorted out wires to one of the fuel tanks/tail lights.
For under $200 in parts - it's on the road and running great.
The wheels and toolbox alone were worth the 1500 - I just happened to get a real nice truck stuck in between them.
Bought it for haying(tractor repairs)/home depot runs/towing some goats around so the 302 auto is fine for that. But now I can't stop driving it for everything else.
It came with new exhaust parts - but kinda liking it loud. For a little while anyways.
