Ok so when we aren't working on the house, Bronco 2, the Harleys, or my dad's truck we work a bit on my 88 F150. I do most of the work myself but do get help from my brothers. So I love getting ideas and sharing about my truck.
First off info on the truck:
1988 Ford F150 4x4 302 C6 auto transmission long bed regular cab shift kit installed in the trans white with lund fender flares custom package sliding rear 2nd most fun truck to drive on our lot 1st being the 02 F250 then after my 88 the B2. The truck has 56000 harsh original miles on it.
The first owner bought the truck to tow a 4 horse trailer and ended up killing the transmission doing it with in a few years. They sold it to a dealership whom fixed the truck and used it for a repo truck. Was used like that till 07 or 08 when it was sold to a local mechanic and he was going to make it carbed. In 09 we moved up here and my dad bought it for a 14th birthday present. The dizzy and intake were all missing.
I played with it a bit and got it running recently. We originally paid $400 for it.
What I have done to the truck:
installed 89 f150 302 intake free
installed 89 F150 302 dizzy free
installed bug deflector (different then what was on it) $20
installed sliding rear and front windshield $250 installed back window has slight tint
installed door locks and new key cylinder $50
installed new used front bumper without trim free
added fender flares worked them off
painted flares and tailgate letters $5 rattle can job black
installed new used fuel tanks and fuel pumps free
cleaned it all up free
fixed the bed mounting Free
installed TFI/control module $50 at autozone
installed fuel selector valve $3 at junkyard
installed headlights $20
installed 80 amp alternator off 89 F350 Free
fixed some wiring free
set timing at 11* BTDC
replaced all the relays $30 at autozone
fixed gooseneck hitch all though I won't be using it free
installed an F-150 emblem free
installed antenna original free
3 spare wheels matching $30
plugs, wires, and coil all new $50
replaced the fuel rail with a stainless steel one $10 (our 02 has the same upgrade)
probably more I am forgetting but will post pics soon.
