It pays to know people. Fella was gonna scrap em, got em all for $750

The white truck is a ‘91 F150 XLT Lariat with 91k on it’s 302 and 4 speed auto. Only option it doesn’t have is the towing package. A/C blows cold, radio is loud and the 4x4 works perfectly.

The chevy is a ‘98 Silverado Z71 package with a 5.7 and auto. Has 177k miles and looks like it has maybe 100k. It’s nice.

The bucket truck is a ‘89 with a 460 and a C6 auto. Has a whopping 45k on it. Plan on taking the bucket off and using it as a service truck.

Already sold the chevy to a buddy of mine cause he really liked it and it’s getting coolant into the oil even though it has new headgaskets, the white truck needs injectors and the bucket truck is not getting any fuel. None of the pumps are priming so if anyone here knows anything about Bricknose fords let me know, I’ve only dealt with none fuel injected ford trucks.

What are y’all’s experiences or thoughts on towing with these trucks?

Buddy of mine bought this Volvo and we’re moving it to storage till he’s ready to pull the engine. So that means I am getting to use my dually for dually things. My only complaints so far is the mirrors are too short so it can be difficult to see the trailer sometimes and my temp gauge is junk so I am pulling over at as many convenient pull offs and using an infrared thermometer to make sure it’s not running too awfully hot.

On a side note, with the empty trailer I was still getting 6 mpg. Which I am very happy about considering it’s a 390, 4 speed dually.

Anyone else have a stupidly low mileage truck that has been through hell and back?

Truck has 67,xxx on it and it’s in the same shape as my ‘77 Dodge D100 with 300 some odd thousand miles on it. Both were always farm trucks so it makes sense but I find it kinda funny

4wd is completely optional

2wd ‘86 F150 I’ve daily driven since highschool. 300 straight six and a C6 automatic. $20 camper shell, used 10 year old Firestone destination m/t’s and a lot of right foot gets me just about anywhere I wanna go. No limited slip, no locker, no nothing.
