So, I got a line on a beater dd / weekend honey-do truck. 1981 Ford F150, reg cab, short bed, 4WD, inline-6 300ci, 5-speed.

I'm told the engine is a Jasper remanufactured with about 1,500 miles on it. The body might be 208,000 or 308,000 ??? New tires, jackman wheels, brakes, shocks, all fluids changed in tranny and rear-ends, new power-steering pump, new clutch and throwout bearing, some surface rust on the quarters --- nothing major.

It's a hella deal as far as price. It's freaking two-tone brown and lighter brown. and Wifey DOES NOT want it sitting in the driveway (even though she wants mulch, trees, a new coffee table, 10 years of sh1t from the basement taken to the dump).

I can get over the color and Wifey, but is there anything else I should know or watch out for with this model?
