Hi guys

Post by mboranowski »

I've already posted a few times around these forums but I figured I'd make a thread here anyway 8) . My name's Mark and I'm from the Columbus, Ohio area. Anyway, I don't own an F100 yet but I've been looking for one to buy for a while. I currently have a '93 Honda Accord as my daily driver that I want to get rid of. It may sound stupid that I want to trade it for a gas-guzzling older truck, but I really love these Fords. I think I've found a decent truck in Michigan I may go look at soon. Here's a link to the cl ad if anyone wants to see it.

The guy sent me some more recent pictures and the body appears to be very nice for a mid-western car. Anyway if all goes well I may be able to just trade my current car for it.

Welcom from NY.
Bring an air pump. Seems a little pricey to me. Need more info.

Welcome. I have to agree with flatbedford, the price seems a little high. Have fun looking for a truck.

Welcome from California!

Good luck on your hunt for a truck. That first link you sent seemed to be a bit pricey. I'd probably expect that truck to go under $2k. Second link from truckguy is definitely worth investigating.
