That’s a nice truck, my dad had the long bed tan and brown version of that same truck. I want to say it was an 87 though. The build sounds like fun. Hard to find short beds at all, non the less rust free!

Nice Tesla Lavigna! Not practical for SSouth Louisiana, but cool cars.

Here is one of my better financial decisions.
Bought this 1991 F150 2wd back in 2016 for $1500.
Has 5.0 EFI, AOD Auto, 80K mi, porno red interior, and zero rust on anything.
The 91 is the last of the F-series sporting no-airbag, no-ABS, and hi/lo dimmer on the floor.
It was built with union pride in Dearborn back in 1991 on a Monday or a Friday.
(Maybe they pulled it to the side and worked on this very special one both days?)
I’ve had the engine and trans out multiple times performing mechanical exorcisms and it is still an oil belching 180hp slug with the BEST working Air conditioning you’ve ever felt.
I live in a little more farming-minded community.
People literally run up and tell you how much money they want to give you for it while you run errands with it. We have come out from eating dinner to some woman laying under it in the dark and surprised the heck out of us saying how clean it is. Kids with bro-hats yell “square body” and “OBS” when they see it.
My wife does not like this truck, or that we need 2 pickup trucks for that matter.
It sees 500mi a year and takes up precious garage space. I wouldn’t trust it out of the county. The speedo is practically buried on the freeway. It leaks at least 2 fluids at any given time. (I think maybe the rings have no tension with the blow by)
But it runs like a leaky piece of 80K mi Detroit iron with a good tune up should.
Oh you bet, it has twin gas tanks for lots of idling that 5 liter air conditioner.
Not for sale.
I have a mild roller cam/gt40 head 302 build going. Things should get better soon.
Wow that’s beautiful, looks like it’s in fantastic condition.
Mine wants to say hi and thank you to its older brother
I hope it looks at least half as good still when it’s over 30.

I’m hoping to pick up a Reg cab Coyote in a few years. I have a 13 now with 180k plus miles. It’s a 3.7 with some mods, but it’s been an awesome truck so far.

Here is my 2010 F150 Platinum with 5.4. Fender flares are painted silver now to match the factory color. Great truck!

Here is one with the fender flares painted. It has a rough country six inch lift. I did add aftermarket front upper control arms and a 2inch puck on top of the lifted strut so it actually sits 10 inches taller than stock running 20x12 wheels with 35x12.50 20's

Wow I am impressed by the love for the old fords!
I have a 13’ F-150 XLT coyote that the cab corners and rockers are rotted off of, it has almost 200K, and I keep telling myself “I got another 5 years of driving that thing”. It’s basically a denim blue metallic version of mikea96’s but waaaaaaaaay less nice.
I’ve done headers and tune and I think it gets down pretty respectable as a family truckster. I really like the coyote platform, even my old first gen is a ripper.
And learning all about the boosted F150 craze of late; it makes me question why I even deal with all this.
Somebody asked about my Colt earlier….it is indeed wrong wheel drive and limited slip on slicks (2.0 60’).
I have a 1G Talon TSi AWD also. Both cars, very similar mods and they feel worlds apart on what they do well.
I love hearing guys sticking with the same platform for the long haul and owning multiple.

Very close; it is a 71.
