I just got it last night. 1985 Ford 350 it's a beast, 6.9L diesel 4 Speed Manual. I got it to pick up parts and haul cars when necessary. I was tired of picking up parts in the civic. It needs a brake booster and a new steering box, but other than that it runs great. Only has 80,000 on the engine.

your wording reminded me of this:

Dr. Peter Venkman: [looking at the temporary sign while a worker is hanging it up] You don't think it's too subtle, Marty, you don't think people are going to drive down and not see the sign?
[hears a siren approaching and an old, gray station wagon pulls up in the driveway]
Dr. Peter Venkman: Whoa! Whoa! You can't park right here!
[looks and sees Stantz in the driver's seat]
Dr Ray Stantz: [gets out] Everybody can relax, I found the car. Needs some suspension work and shocks. Brakes, brake pads, lining, steering box, transmission, rear-end.
Dr. Peter Venkman: How much?
Dr Ray Stantz: Only $4800.
[Venkman looks shocked]
Dr Ray Stantz: Also new rings, mufflers, a little wiring.

LOL. I checked prices for both before I bought the truck. Autozone $106 for brake booster and $150(ish don't remember the exact price) for the steering box. The truck has 178,000 miles but the engine in only has 80,000. It was under my budget price so I can afford to fix some things on it.

Yeah I got it off craigslist. I did not want the stacks. The truck already stands out in my neighborhood, I don't need to make it even more noticable.
