Hello There
Just wanted to stop by and say hi! I'm new to fords, my old car died so I went out and got a 93 F-150 has almost 200,000 miles on a 4.9L stright 6 
seems like a really strong motor, the guy who owned it didn't I guess really care to much about it it had the facotry plugs and wires and the oil looked it also lol but I've spent the last few weeks just doing things under the hood tuneup wise but anyway enough rambling for me here is a pic of it keep in mind I only paid 850 for it
Sorry if this post is huge new posting pics

RE: Hello There
Welcome to the site HeavyC
The 4.9 is a solid engine, most gave a very long service life.. And IMO, the early-mid 90's trucks were the best that Ford ever produced.. I've worked on more than I can count, and have owned a few of my own including a 93 F-150 S/C 5.0 that I bought new and my brother has it till this day with not much more that just normal wear/service repairs being done.. Commuted, towed, hauled with it and was a comfortable ride..

RE: Hello There
Ty for the welcome
Yeah I love this truck so far I'm a big guy but yet it's comphy, also like i said I did the reg tuneup (havn't done the spark plugs yet) but wires, filters, cap, roter oil and stuff I've done I can't do the spark plugs because it almost feels like whom ever did it before maybe cross threaded them
btw they look orignal also lol (any hints to getting them out would be great!) I might also have to replace the stearing box but other then that for 850 I think I did pretty good on the truck but again thanks for the warm welcome!!
