New guy to the sight, not new to square body chevys. me and the parents shared an 87 2wd 'burban as a teenager, I had an 86 k20 for a few years that i sold a few months back (needed a trans, was rotty, and I was bored with it.)

Been looking for a truck for about a month now, mainly looking at 93-97 F250s and F350s. I love the looks of those trucks, HAD to have 4 wheel drive, air cruise and all that,and wanting a 3/4 or 1 ton ex cab long box that was the obvious choice. every thing in my budget was junk, just junk. Found a NICE looking 96 chevy ex cab long box, that need a trans that i was hot for but effing craigslisters don't know how to return phone calls or emails. Found a really nice looking f250, had a showing scheduled and the guy scheduled another guy before me and he bought it. By the time the guy with this truck

finally answered his phone, it was only to tell me he sold it the day before. Truck was listed on CL for $2400.

Found a f150, stick six, ex cab, long box, 4x4 I was ready to go look at it and figured if i could lowball the guy and get it for less than a paycheck I'd buy it. Yesterday at work the craigslist app dinged on my phone and this popped up. Called the guy, set up a time, looked at it, drove it and bought it.

1990, 454/th400, 4x4. Drives pretty good, does need some repairs and tlc (doughnut gasket, fuel leak, tires, brake issues.) Interior is a little rough but it has air/cruise/tilt/windows/locks. Gonna keep my eyes open for a burban getting parted out to redo the interior. Needs a drivers door (dents may pull out, but i doubt it.) Passenger door dent should pop out., a little rot in the cab corners and the drivers rocker needs replacing. A little rust over the wheel wells, but the passenger rear corner is stoved in, into the hinge area, so a rust free bed is in my sights. For a 22 year old Wisconsin truck, it's really solid, and a good place to start. Always wanted one of these, so I jumped on it. And the money was right.
