1990 Ford F-150

My 1990 Ford F-150. Regular cab/bed. 4.9 straight six 5 speed. Very clean unbeaten truck.

My dad bought this truck on April 4th 1990 for $15,000. He drove the truck daily till 2000, it needed cab mounts and the dent was pretty ugly. Didn't want to put money into it, put it off to the side, never got back to it. It was parked till 2006, when he gave it to me. When I was 14, I got into the truck had a brand new battery for it. Turned it over started right up. No problems at all. That's a Ford! I was planning on fixing it up when I got my license. But my license is currently suspended till I'm 18, on June 29th 2010. Witch is my shipment date for the Army. Next year she will be all fixed up.

You might say the truck is shit, but this truck means something to me, this truck drove me home from the hospital when I was born, it never ever let my father down. I've seen this thing pull out a few truck, pull some heavy stuff, and do great burnouts. Has a great motor, very powerful. 165 Horsepower and 270 foot pounds of torque.

Hope you liked it. This is a before, I'll have photos up of it too. It's a good truck.

do you think this will pull around 8000 pounds? those inlines have some power but i haved to have a truck to pull my 460 v8 to the mud pits and was wantin to know if anyone thought it could. my buddy uses the same engine to pull 20000 pound tractor trailers around his shop. just needed some feedback on it because i can get a 93 f150 5spd with the 4.9 for around $1500 in good condition

@alcoholica460 Sorry I didn't reply, I was in Basic training and AIT for the Army. But yes if you find a 4.9 it's worth it. It's a great ass engine. This Ford here, she's my baby, I haven't really been able to drive her, my license was suspended till I turned 18, and I turned 18 the day I started BAsic training. But I've seen these trucks going 500,000 miles. And sure any engine can, but not maintain the power she has. And the power she has is A LOT. Pulling 20,000. It's true.

@alcoholica460 These engines were put in the 1970s dump trucks, 15,000-20,000 pounds. Only difference is those are carburated, bigger injections, and high power manifolds. These trucks are built very well. Buy one. It wont let you down. This ones been in the family for 20 years. Has 175,000. ORIGINAL engine, CLUTCH and transmission, and ton more. But if you look at that engine, not ONE leak.

[Dshaws90fordf150]

Thanks bro, a lot of people hate on this truck. But fuck, look at her, you gotta see the whole this to actually see how well maintained she is, when I say no leaks I mean NONE! There is not a drop of oil under that hood. Even todays cars have some, this thing none. Plus it means a lot to me, drove me home from the hospital. Hopefully some day it'll be driving my kids home from the hospital.
