Big Bird

Just got this truck last Thursday.

1994 F150 2WD
5.0 Automatic

The pics make it look better than it is as far as paint.

I'm only the 2nd registered owner. It was actually purchased new as a Utility truck in 1994 and sold in 8/2013. I bought it from a kid who bought it, but never registered it.

He didn't take care of it, but I'm gonna put it back to better.

I only paid $1k for the truck, but then paid $850 for the tires & wheels.

It runs great, just needs a tune-up to past inspection.

My only concern is the front end. It needs an alignment and I think I may need to rebuild the front end.

Yeah, that looks like a steal for $1k. I really like the yellow too, and can't recall seeing another yellow one in that body style.

Yeah, the first thing I did was check under the hood and door jams to make sure it wasn't a re-spray.

It was actually ordered from Ford in that yellow. So it's all original color.

That yellow is why I went to look at it.

Well I finally got a 2'' front leveling kit, got it installed and aligned for $160; and I bought the spacers for $45. I LOVE the way it looks, doesn't feel like I'm driving a car now, LOL.
