Good day
I have loved this site for tips and great reading from you more experienced wrenchers out there. I have owned an 87 2wd auto and just recently put to rest my 96 3.0 4x4 auto.
Just looked at another 87 2.9 4x4 extra cab today, been sitting for 9 years! I have always leaned towards the first gen style as it reminds me of my old 78 f150. Could I please get your guys opinion on the 2.9 as I have never owned one before. If this truck was running and driving 9 years ago and sounds really healthy at least just turning it over, are they pretty tough motors? Likelihood of coming back to life? Obviously its going to need to be gone through with a fine toothed comb, but I would hate to see this thing sit for another 9-10. Appreciate any advice and look forward to picking your Guys' brains
pic of what i looked at today. recap: 87 2.9, 4x4 5 speed manual locking. body pretty decent.
