F350. Auto. 460 big block.

POS.

Bought it for the amount of money the previous owner put on parts into it. I have receipts for the work.

Not really sure what I'm going to do with it yet if I'm honest.

I know people at the fire dept that would swear thats an amazing combo. Not fast. Drink a lot of gas. But they would rave about all of that. The 460 especially.

What’s wrong with it?

I'm just going to replace the solenoid and wires around it then eventually probably buy an entire wire set like I did for the camaro. Half the gauges don't work, and a lot of sensors are missing. No radio.

As long as I get it somewhat reliably running I'll start messing with everything else.

Dual tanks but the switch is messed up and randomly jumps between the two so the rear one was disabled and wired so whatever it's switched to, will run from the front tank.

Need a lot of little tlc but rust is actually not too bad and I'm going to leave it looking rough for now.

Is this really a competition you want to win? :lol:
I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

no but i probably could anyway lol.


whats worse, owning one youve had for a while, or wanting to buy one still, knowing how horrible of a decision it is.

Did you get the truck running? Seriously don’t think this is a dumb buy. You can tow anything, really slowly, and they are honestly known for being dependable…and gas hogs.
