just went and looked at this 1986 f150 4x4 with a fuel injected 302. No rust just peeling paint. Is this worth getting for $1800
Only if you are going to restore it. By restore I mean you actually have the money on hand and the intention to have it restored not dreams of restoring it.

>$1800
Yeah, it is.
>>15344458
Make sure the 4x works- like lock in the hubs in a dirt lot and have a friend watch the tires .
Good truck overall.
86 is first year of efi. Mas (speed density) not maf (air volume- like the 87-93 mustang guys have) so not as good to tune.
What engine?
What trim package? Can't tell if badge says xlt or xl.
Guessing xl by the bumper.

Do it
>>15344458 (OP)
This is why you should never trust /o/, no one has even asked for actually important information regarding this vehicle.
OP, its a shitty old truck. If you want to be the laughing stock of the town I guess go for it. Nobody will think its cool but you, and its going to be a pain in the ass constantly:
-Low gas mileage
-Money blackhole
-Shit towing capacity, which is literally the only benefit of buying a truck

>shit towing capacity.
Because that sticker on the door jam of your import actually means something- guess what, his doesn't.
I've pulled another truck and I actually forgot it was there.
>low gas mileage
Yep. 9.5 highway on 33's
>money b!ackhole.
If I spend $1800 base, and $1,000 a year in maintenance, I'm still thousands ahead of a new truck
And it won't be thousands a year. It'll be $54 for brakes, $400 for a transfer case (that I'll never replace again in my lifetime).
So your objections are moot.
Price of owning any vehicle...
>>15344458
do it ya fuck, that's a nice shortbox shitbox
>>15344617
>people buy trucks for mpg
>302 is very reliable
>7000+ pounds isn't respectable
You're right, why ask anyone on /o/ when they don't know what the fuck they're talking about?
Fuel injection and no rust is reason alone to buy it. Except it's a ferd
>>15344648
When you buy your own vehicle and aren't given one or claiming daddy's as your own, you can have an opinion.

Oh look, you have eyes. Good for you

>important information regarding this truck.
Like what?
Engine is 300, 302 or 351.
Transfer case is a borgwarner (208 I think, maybe 205)
Trans is c6 if auto, forget what manual is.
Diff is 9" or 8.8" ( depends on availability at the plant when it rolled off the line).
Gearing is 3.08-3.55
Some people on this forum actually have experience on these trucks and don't need a vin to google to learn about it...
