The story

Bought this truck from a Co-worker with 249,XXX miles on it. He replaced a water pump on the side of the road between Alabama and Vegas and refilled the radiator with straight tap water. Never changed it. 6 months later he developed a massive leak and thought a head gasket blew out. Took off the engine harness, distributor, intake, valve covers, rockers and push rods, before leaving it outside for several months in the desert. I bought it from him for $500 (he owed $400+ in storage fees). I also bought a 96 F-150 and combined the two and rebuilt the engine and swapped the transmission. The transmission has issues right now and its not drivable. I will fix that when I return from Korea. — cajunrebel87
