Just picked it up before the first of the year. Its an 88 with a 318

That was before I hit a deer while running 70 mph here area couple of the after pics

 

Nice looking truck soldier233rd. Sucks about the deer though.

Fortunately it looks like not to much damage and its amazing how tough our trucks are, most cars would be completely totaled after hitting a deer at 70 mph.

 

Bummer about the deer. Really sweet looking rig, though.

 

nice clean truck

 

Thanks guys. Yes you are right about it not being a new model with hitting the deer. if i had of been driving the wife's 09 i don't think i would have been as lucky.

 

Just brought my pickup home about 3 weeks ago. '89 W150 with a 318 and 727 trans. Bought it for $600 with a junkyard tranny in the bed (the original had gone out, they pulled it and tore it apart). After sourcing all of the bolts to hook it back up (who pulls a transmission and loses ALL of the parts??) I finally got shoved back together and was able to take it down the road. Luckily everything started right up with no problems! The A/C even works!



The rust on the front fender and door in the pic is the only rust I've found, besides some very minor surface stuff in the bed. The passenger fender was replaced at some point so the color doesn't match and has a crease in it from driving along something. Bought it mostly as a work truck, but now I'm itching to get it fixed up and looking good!

 

Needs a little work but for the most part a pretty solid truck. 89w100 318. Put some bfg km2 mt's on it and I have a chrome grill in the box to go on. Looking for headers and a lift and a toneau cover to start

Edit to add: not for sale haha
