Well I picked this truck up today. It's a 1999 4.6 auto 4x4 with the tow package.
The good:
Near mint body
New transmission that came with all the paperwork and warranty info with it!
No leaks anywhere!
Near new tires.
Only 145,000 miles on the truck.
The bad:
Motor is toast.
It's dirty and needs a good detail and polish the chrome.
I payed 400 bucks! So I'm going to put a new engine in it with some upgrades and maybe let the wife drive it! Lol
What do ya think?

Ow ow! She looks good! Always been a huge fan of that color scheme. So you're planning on getting an entirely new engine and trying to rebuild and or repair this one?

I'm going to buy a engine from the local auto wreckers and have it freshened up.
Depends what I can find. Gotta do some calling around tomorrow!
