The story

2nd owner. First owner took to FORD dealer for everything...even oil changes. Looked through all receipts. FORD is who rebuilt motor before i got it. Only weird thing is, it is an HD...but didnt order a trailer package. Inside is bare bones...crank windows, had a cassette deck, sport mirrors...nothing for towing, plain jane bench seat that bounces like crazy when u drive. Well i changed seat to a xlt seat with lumbars and center counsel. More of a bucket seat feel. So much better. I am glad it came with air conditioning though. — mrhorsepower67
