    If it's going to be a parts hauler, put a headlight in it and fix JUST what is needed to run and drive safely. Don't sink thousands into it and "flip" it for pennies on the dollar. Junk yard tires work just as well as new tires. It's your money; spend it wisely.

    I got a smooth running, stick shift 1999 Dodge Dakota in northwest Ohio for $500! All it needed was an oil change and tires. It's rough with many scratches , flaws, and dents in the paint, but I gotta say, it runs damn smooth.

    Nice truck. I've had my 1998 F-150 4x4 since 2000, and it's been a great truck for me. She's getting rough and rusty now, but I'm not letting go until it won't move anymore. They're actually nice trucks.

    $26 for coils is a steal! I did all 8 on an ‘02. Paid more just for 1 at Oreilly. I noticed that you have a history of sinking a lot of $ on truck projects and losing $. I would do a 1000-1500 work truck challenge and get all the mechanical and safety items dialed in. Maybe use the truck to practice body and paint with the beard. A video series on adding/reading/fixing the AC would be awesome. Lotta people out there with no AC beaters. Keep up the good work. I like that you don’t over curate your online persona. You’re a normal guy with normal problems pursuing your dreams 👍🏿

      I agree. It's a beater truck, it's not a show truck and doesn't need to look perfect. My father use to tell me "It doesn't have to look pretty, it just has to work". I agree. Focus on the engine, the brakes, the A/C, steering and suspension.

    Similar to my 01 7700 F150 with the 7 lug wheels and yes the center caps are valuable! 315,000 miles on mine with the same ABS light (for a wheel speed sensor) and odometer that works when it wants to. Yours has probably had a transmission rebuild by now, one of the many reasons I love high mileage trucks.
    These trucks misfire constantly from just about anything. Get your high tech scanner on there and monitor all the systems because the check engine codes these trucks put out are vague. I have had mine misfire from vacuum leaks, a bad fuel pressure regulator, a clogged cat, a bad 02 sensor, etc.
    Leave her as a beater truck so you won't feel bad about scratching and denting it while hauling parts!

    _Buying the parts separately would be a way too expensive._ And having a donor truck for spares is super handy!

    No point to doing bodywork on it other than headlight and bumper. Concentrate on the mechanical end.
    I don't know what to expect on a Ford that mileage. We've had some mid-90s Chevy pickups that go 300K no problem, around here they usually rot too badly to pass inspection before they're dead.
    But for $800 a few years ago I bought a '93 GMC 1-ton dually with the NV4500 trans in it and drove it home. Hauled several cars on trailers with it. Rusty as hell, tool box on it with only a couple of cabinets even useable. 250K and unknown miles on a reman 5.7. I guess the trans is worth what I paid for the truck.

    I was not a big fan of this generation F150 when they were new because of the design but I have come to very much respect them. Ford had not built this generation of F150 in many, many years but I still see them everywhere. These things seem to be great, damn-near bullet-proof trucks.
    The Harley Davidson trucks from this generation looked awesome! It'd be cool if you could work some of those elements into this truck or even some Lightning parts, particularly the wheels.
    Looking at those tires on the back which I am assuming were rotated at some time from the front, it looks like the alignment might need to be checked out. All-in-all, I think that this was a great truck for the money and hopefully it serves you well. I am looking forward to seeing you work on this one, I think it'll turn out quite nice. The only thing that would have been better is if it would have had a 5-speed manual.

    I normally don't comment on videos but I really liked this one. I have one of these 7 lug trucks myself and it's been a great truck. I drive mine hard, been through mud holes and has pulled over 12k lbs (a bit over the weight rating but it handled the weight perfectly in the northern arkansas ozarks none the less). I did want to mention since you brought up a cat delete, you will need 02 sensor foolers to delete the upper cats. These trucks have 4 (2 per side) The lower two can just be cut off but the upper two require a sensor fooler. These trucks send a signal to the computer if the cats aren't operating right or are cut off causing the engine to run as rich as it possibly can and it will run like 5 out of 8 cylinders have a miss (I learned the hard way). I do recommend the delete as these cats plug up and will cause exhaust restriction to the point they glow red hot (also found out the hard way) at high miles and a dead miss speeds up the process. Still a great truck and worth putting work into if it's mechanically sound since parts are easy to come by and cheap for the most part.

    To fix the column shifter location arrow in the cluster and to regain gear 1, under the dash you will find 2 loose torx bolts. Take one out, put threadlocker on it reinstall it and do the other bolt the same and that will correct it. Its above the brake pedal, look for the cable coming down and going out through the firewall. Its a common for them to loosen after 110k or more.

    I agree I would just get the truck 100% mechanical leave the body in that alone use the truck for like you say picking up parts at the junkyard you don't have to worry about a damn thing throw them in there I'll tell you I know it like in my area and I'm sure it's got to be the same way around you you should be able to get a decent set of tires used for a cheap price and if you're going to register it under your name wouldn't that truck be a write-off on your taxes being a quote company vehicle Auto Auction rebuild..., I hate to bring it up LOL remember trucks of the past?

      Intakes are prone to breaking and leaking coolant severely and be careful changing spark plugs, the 2v motor can strip and blow out plugs. I know how to fix that too
