I've got one of those, too. 95. Short bed, 300 6 cylinder with a 5 speed. Only bad thing about it is the 2.88 rear gears. They suck. but it gets 21 on the highway.
Bought an old 89 F150 a couple of months ago. 5.0 auto. Had a bent exhaust valve and bent push rod on #2 cylinder. Got that fixed up a week ago, took it out for a drive tonight. Does pretty good. 69,000 original miles.
Gave $700 for it and had a tow truck bring it home.

If mine had, at least, 3.55's I'd be a lot happier, but it works for me.

In my avatar picture? No, I tried it a year ago on e-Bay after a similar on brought $20K but it did not sell. If you are interested PM me.

my grandma had a stump ground out a while back and it was finally cool enough to get it hauled away should make good soil in a few more years.

and my other truck the 85 f150 its a 300 i6 / c6 / 3.55 gears. i use it to pull my mowing rig around.

Jake, that wood mulch soil is real low on pH so you might want to amend it before trying to grow something in it.

i mixed a 5 gallon bucket of stove ash with it to increase the acidity.

I know guys with chain saws like that[emoji23][emoji23]


Sorry Steven you left the door open for that one bro[emoji23]

You know, as I was hauling barns today, I thought of that. Didn't know who would nail me for it... but expected it.

 

[Four Paws]

Fords are to fragile for hauling wood.

Yup...

220K...Worked hard since the day it was new.

Blueberries!

 

[jake wells]

Blueberries!

none of those here got many wild blackberry bushes though.

 

[DELETED (Struggle)]

Mine only has 12K on it but it works all time pulling the stump grinder or he dump trailer. Here it is today as I hauled in 13,000lbs of top soil to finish out this job. The ruts weren't from me but from a neighbor that should have waited until the ground dried up.

Sent from somewhere
