Frank,
Sorry, I wasn't clear, it had just over 80 thousand miles on it when I got it with the original tires on it, they were in bad shape, I too was surprised when I saw it with those tires, but he took extremely good care of things so I guess that paid in long lasting tires! also he wasn't my blood relative, everyone in the family but mom and I hated him and I only saw him twice in my life, so there isn't much sentimental value there. I don't want to sell it as it is such a good rig, I don't think I will find anything as reliable for the price I could get for it.
Nathan, The collector offered me a trade, his '90 Ford F-150 4x4, auto with a custom paint job and 351-W engine. I declined because I had a bad experience with a rig like this before, when we moved we were towing a large trailer with our '90 3/4 ton Ford with a 351-W and auto, it toasted the engine on the way coming over a mountain pass, and it got lousy gas milege, I was following with the suburban so we towed with that the rest of the way, over worse passes, it didn't even cough and it got better fuel milege! I think the manual transmission helped some. Chris
