New Friends, I just found this site by purest accident, while seeking new glow-plugs for my "new to me" 1986 f-250 Club-cab 6.9 with ZF manual transmission. - The f-250 has 59000 original miles & hasn't been started in about 8-9 years. Thus, I will need lots of advice. yours, tex

Greetings, Burning oil.
Do you get over this way often?

I live nearly in downtown, just off New Braunfels AV & I-35. - IF you come over here often, let me know & I'll show you my favorite "hole in the wall" Tex-Mex joint.
(Fist fights start here over Tex-Mex food & which joint is BEST.)

yours, tex
 
Welcome Tex. 59,000 is quite the barn find. start a thread on the truck (picture time is my favorite) and let's see if we can help you put it on the road without spending half a million bucks!
 
Will L,

The short answer is that the XLT Lariat is 300 miles from here & behind locked gates. - I'm waiting to get into the farm, so that we can bring it home/start working on it.
(It belonged to a rodeo cowboy who passed away.)

Once I have it here, get it cleaned up & running again (more or less), I'll have my daughter make numerous photos & post them here. = As best as I can tell, under 8 years of TX dirt, the white paint even looks new.
The all fabric interior DOES look new.
(I'm semi-literate in PC at best.)

Note: As best as I can figure out, the 5-speed ZF was dealer installed in Dallas by a Ford dealer in late 1987, based on the "paper litter" in the glove compartment.

yours, satx
