    I've got that same drill and impacter and love 'em, I bought 2 sets, but now the price is at 230$ which is what its supposed to be at. We'll see.

    My car takes 7.5qt, and it leaks/burns enough I buy a case, and when the case is empty its time to change oil.

    The greatest part of that video is the Prius driver is obliviousness to the fact that the production of the batteries in her car have already created more pollution before the car moved 1', then that pick up truck could ever create in its life time. Looks like an excellent reason to call the police and let them pull up in their gas guzzling vehicle while she is all riled up and watch the fireworks.

    It says the windows won't go up or down, and needs drivers door glass. I'm assuming either the switches or the motors/regulators are shot. I'm assuming the drivers door glass is a 20$ part at a junkyard?

    I've never worked on one, but looking into the engine bay on a later model Ford makes me cringe. It looks like absolutely everything is buried.

    So apparently you could feel the Oklahoma earthquake here in town, but I slept through it.

    Good to hear Ryan. I was originally only looking for the 4.9L due to it being virtually indestructible, but an 88 F-150 with the King Cab and a 6' bed and a 5.0L has popped up here on the local craigslist.

    I'm indifferent about rust. Assuming I can't put my hand through the huge rust holes, it just doesn't bother me. I'm use to GM's, they all rust....

    Welcome to the IHoP

    I've been looking for one more with the 4.9L I-6, but there are a lot more with the 5.0L.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Ok Ford folks. Is there anything bad, or thing to specifically look for about the 5.0L and automatic or manual transmissions in the late 80's early 90's F-150s? Heck, really anything in particular to look for when checking out a F-150 of that vintage? I've never really checked one out or worked on one so I've no clue what breaks.

    For an antique tag over here it has to be 35 or more years old, then stuff gets cheap.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Don't like it. Too much mash. If you're gonna do it, stick with one model year. It's disproportionate and the clay just looks nasty. I kind of like it... Speaking of Mustangs, what is a ballkpark price for a 67-70 in fair condition, with a v8 ? 289, 302, 351, whatever is right for the year it was made Fair condition is such a loose term. Expect to pay at least $20K for something you can drive. Fair condition as in not a rust bucket. Some rust doesn't scare me too much. A possible engine rebuild also doesn't scare me. Theres a reason they have a nickname 'rustang' and make sure to stay away from anywhere that uses salt.

    You can do that with the windows movie player that comes standard on windows 7. I've never done it, but seen it done.

    I use BGE stuff since there isn't much option here and the other stuff sucks.
