NCarolina910's 1988 Ford F-Series Pick-Up


The first picture of my "new" truck from the AutoTrader.com add.

My newest truck is a 1988 Ford F150 XLT Lariat 4x4
5.0 Liter 302 cubic inch EFI motor
3-speed automatic transmission w/ overdrive
power everything

I bought it with 169k miles, 40k since the motor and transmission were rebuilt.

Current Modifications:
Pioneer DEH-3800MP headunit
cheap-o Radio Shack CB radio
5ft FireStikII CB antenna (black)
true dual ehxaust. 2.25" inch with Heartthrob glasspacks & 3" stainless steel tips
Rough Country 4" suspension lift
33x12.50x15 General Tire Savero M/T's
15x10" Pacer 320C chrome wheels
Cardone Industries remanufactured steering box

One day I want to get some subwoofers, but that will have to wait on money.

These are the first pictures taken the day after I picked it up.

This next set was taken after I'd had the truck for a few weeks and had taken it muddin/trail riding a couple times on trails cut through the woods behind a friend's house. First time out I hit a tree comming out of a hole. Second time I cought a stump with the bumper and blew a seal on the steering box some other time that day.

The 102" stainless steel whip. Since been replaced by a 5 foot quarter wave black FireStikII. I just thought it looked better. I'm probably selling David the whip for his 69 Buick Wildcat.

My Pioneer DEH-3800MP. I love this thing! It even came with a remote.

This next picture was taken the day after Christmas. The truck was clean for a change so I figured I should take a picture of it. The 102" stainless steel whip antenna was off in this picture adn the next one.

Jon took this picture of my truck when we were out at Dinkin's Bottom Rd. New Years Day when it was flooded out.

I had to throw in a picture of David's F150 just for good measure. That's a 4" lift kit and 33's on there. Where he's parked was about 1.5 feet of water. The day before there were about 5 feet of water there.

Finally picked up a lift kit for this beast! 4" Rough Country Suspension Systems lift kit. I plan to get it installed with the help from my friends David, Dave, Brandon, and Jon as soon as the weather evens out and we have some nice days to work on it.

Finally got my Heartthrob glasspacks installed. True duals, no cats, 2 1/4" pipe. Problem is, no exahust shop will touch it cause I cut the cat off. What I'm gonna have to do is take it up to a place in King that will bend the pipes for me but not weld them on, then have my friend David connect it all for me. Should have everything out the back by next weekend. Pics will follow.

Boredom resulted in me doing this one day. I thought this was a pretty cool parking job. Then I figured, why not take some pictures of the truck.

Lke I said I would, I got pictures of my CB radio installed in the truck. I know, it's just a cheap Radio Shack brand, but I couldn't fit the bigger Cobra I wanted to due to not having an decent spot to mount one.

The truck is finally lifted!! These are the most recent pictures of the truck. I will get better ones in the sunlight but for now, these will have to do. The sun was going down so they aren't the best, but they'll do.

Your truck is super clean and mean. The lift and tires really set it off. Too bad the bumper got crunched though. That is why I bought a truck just for wheeling. It is funny, I want to keep my daily drivers nice, so I built a beater...but none of my trucks are half as nice as yours! Check out my trucks, you might like them...especially my 1989 Bronco.
