1989 Ford F-150 F150 4x4 Ranger XLT Lariat dry western survivor rust free 4wd NR

Exterior: Originally a solid Colonial White truck, the original owner had the dealership add the gray panel, it's written right on the original sales contract. Presents well at 20 feet, but it is somewhat faded, and clear coat is peeling on passenger side of box, as was typical of this era. Paint has been touched up in several spots on hood and roof. NO RUST that I can see anywhere. Underside looks good with only minor surface discoloration, of course we don't see frame rot here out here in Marlboro country. Please see Photobucket link below for close up detail pics including undercarriage. Hitch ball on front bumper is for launching a boat from a trailer. Just an honest survivor to use as is for your backup rig or cabin/lake truck, jump in and go.

Interior: All original in decent driver condition, a few tears in seat upholstery under blanket cover. No cracks in dash, door panels, headliner. Original carpet is in good condition. Glass is good including windshield, which has been replaced. Leather steering wheel wrap has wear on top edge. I believe everything works, lights, gauges, radio, heater, wipers, cruise, etc but AC doesn't blow ice cold. No rodents or smells. Even the wife will like it.

Mechanical: Starts, runs, and drives out well, and gets decent fuel economy with 5.0 EFI engine and 4 speed transmission. No noticeable noise/smoke/leaks. This drive train combo is tried and true, and proven to be a rolling anvil for reliability. No overdrive, so it's great in town, but RPM's are high at modern Interstate speeds. I believe absolutely everything works but A/C, it blows but not ice cold. As mentioned, over $16k has been spent on the truck replacing just about every wear item imaginable - suspension, steering, brakes, etc. All documentation included. Still has the smog equipment and original catalytic converter, but I can't guarantee it will pass smog as Montana has no testing. Does have a shifter buzz at higher rpms but trans works great. Can't think of anything pressing it needs, but 31 x 10.50 tires are old(and different brands) so plan on that. Keep in mind that it is an older rig and will need further maintenance along the way. If you live in a state with very strict vehicle inspections, they will probably find something for you to fix, so expect that.
