Greetings from Spokane, WA

Post by sonic reducer »

Bought a 72 F-250 Sport Custom a few months ago. 360, Auto, 127k original miles, overall decent shape for the $2300 i paid for it. Has paperwork all the way back to 72, including the build sheet, with most receipts from the 1990's until now. It was originally a California truck with just minor surface rust on the bed seam, inside the bed and a few spots around the trim. Overall, I really like my truck, its a blast to drive!

First thing on the list is find some West Coast Jr mirrors, I don't care for the large WC mirrors, and the truck barely fits in my narrow driveway as it is.
New dual exhaust, the stock single exhaust is pretty much disintegrated from the muffler back. (maybe Sanderson headers if the pocketbook allows)

Lots of great knowledge on this forum, I'm sure I'll be asking questions once I dig into the truck in the spring.

Pull and save is your friend. Check the inventories at the Valley and north sites frequently. You might find some surprises there!
too many Fords, no where near 'nuff time.
