secretmoose Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 New member here. Just purchased a running/driving '81 F-150 short bed for $800! Running and driving might be a bit of a stretch but it does start and go forwards and backwards. Inline 6 with a manual overdrive transmission. The transmission is more of a best effort/guess when selecting gears though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taskswap Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Welcome! Sounds a lot like Rocky, my '81 F-250. I'm sure you'll find a ton of good advice here for anything you might want to repair or restore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Yes, welcome! Glad you joined. We'd like to see pics of your truck. And, we'd like to follow along as you make it truly "driveable" rather than just go forward and backward. So you might want to start a thread in the main section. And, where's home? I ask because we have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and would be happy to add you with a city/state or zip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go ahead and put me on the map, Lago Vista, TX, NW Austin area. I'll get to posting a new thread in the main section soon with my questions and issues!

secretmoose Posted June 2, 2022 Author Share Posted June 2, 2022 You are now on the map. But that doesn't look like a moose. Is it a pet? I guess you could call it a pet, there were 20 others behind me waiting for my wife to feed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 I guess you could call it a pet, there were 20 others behind me waiting for my wife to feed them. We have a friend that feeds several deer each evening, and they are like pets to him. So I understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzFace2 Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 We have a friend that feeds several deer each evening, and they are like pets to him. So I understand. Welcome I paid $800 for my flare side in a lot worst shape. Only took me 4 years to do a cab off frame rebuild. I dont think yours needs that from what I see. Waiting to see you post in the project area with your plans and lots of pictures LOL Dave ---- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
