Alright thanks, and I think 93F-150 is right, it has manual windows and tape deck, XLT had power windows and CD player right? still not a big deal though

manual windows=XL my 150 had a normal tape deck and was XLT then the 250 had a CD player and is a XLT so its one of those hit and miss things i think...

For a truck from Ontario it's fairly clean on the outside. Doesn't sound like much for safety so I'd say it's worth it.

As long as it runs good and I'm not over paying it doesn't really bother me what model it is, I think it would be more of a headache for me to have power windows and stuff anyway, I'll end up selling the cap, not a fan of them personally

Not a bad looking truck for Ontario, picked mine up last year around this time. Only had 175,000 kms paid $800, needed some work for a safety though.

Make sure you have a look at the under side of the truck. Check the rear leaf spring hangers and radius arm mounts as they tend to be rotten especially from the salt in Ontario. Other then that seems like a decent deal.

I've got a 89 with a 5.0 5 speed with over 248,XXX on it. Other than a upper intake and timing chain gasket nothing has been touched on the engine.

Other than the "wear and tear" items.

Like everyone else has said, if it looks/runs good, go for it!

looks good for 1300. the cap should sell 3-400 alone so get about a 1/3 of your money back anyway. for the little rust that it does have id get it fixed before the box is too far gone but looks like a nice solid truck for that price.
