1982 F150 6 cylinder
 

Been looking for a project truck.

A guy I know has a 1982 Ford F-150 with straight 6. He's had it for over 20 years. Runs great not too much rust, few holes to fix, needs a paint job, tailgate, upholstery, and ball joints.

I can get it for $700. Would I be stupid not to buy it?

Thanks for your opinion

Sure why not! It's worth more than that for scrap. Besides, it's a classic now.

Can't pass up a deal like that, especially if it runs and drives. I hit the jackpot and got my 86 f150 with 54k miles for $300

2 running trucks for $1000. Sounds like a great deal. Build up that 302 and drop it in the 82. Is the 82 a 4x4?

I'm not buying the straight 6 haha different member. I want one of the straight 6 4-speeds though

Oh sorry haha i just saw you responded and i didnt look to see who the op was

Yes ! You would be stupid not to buy it.
 

The Big Six is a serious workhorse with some upgrade mods available also. Best friggin' work engine Ford ever built ! My 84 currently has a rebuilt 302 with approx. 1,000 miles on it. 2 months ago, I finally found a 300 I6 worth rebuilding and it's in the garage right now about half finished. I'd rather have the I6 over the 302 that "I" rebuilt :thumbsup: The I6 community is huge.
Maybe I'll find a decent Maverick to drop the 302 into.

460 ftw! Haha i wouldnt mind an i6. Only 1 header and 1 head. Performance upgrades at half the cost!

There's currently an 86 with an I6 that's in BEAUTIFUL shape with only 89k miles on it for $1500 in WI. I wish I had the cash, I'd go pick it up in a heartbeat!

Go with the later model split exhaust manifolds and you can run duals ! Just my opinion but the 460 is a fuel slurping, mob anchor to dump someone in da river, and a heavy one at that.....
I've had 3....only one was worth a :censored:
