Hey all,
New member here and also potential truck owner.
I have never owned a truck before, but I`m pretty handy at body work and mechanics. I fancy buying an old truck and fixing her up in my garage.
I have the opportunity to buy an 1988 F150 for a couple hundred bucks. I went to look at it last night, the body is ok, better than I expected for a 20 year old truck! The motor runs well, fired up immediately (it`s the straight 6), seems to drive ok too.
Then I noticed the ugly stick, it`s a standard tranmission. Now it doesn`t bother me driving a standard, I lived in Europe for a while, but I`ve never driven a standard truck!
Anyways, I know next to nothing abouts trucks. I would appreciate some good and bad points about this particular model and year of truck?
Thanks.
