Ford upgrade

[pitw]

I bought a 1986 Ford F150 last year and was playing with it yesterday for the first time and fella's I gotta tell you I'm now in the upper class. .  The damb thing has intermittent wipers.   I wonder how long before that blows up.

You are living large Barry!
Good luck with the Ford.  The only Ford I ever bought was brand new.  It had "intermittent" running...Spent more time in the shop with it than driving it.

Ford, the only US automaker that's not on government welfare.

Welcome to the family of Real Trucks.
Ford F-Series trucks have been number one for 35 years straight so far and still counting. There's a reason for that

Welcome , I been driving a Ford since I was 3 and that was a '51.  The only reason Ford has sold more for 35 years is they are still running on the greatness of the 80-86's.  They produced worst quality trucks after that until they have finally built pure pooh. .  I been trying to count how many I have on my land but I run outta fingers before I ran outta 85's.
  The dropper was having an issue with his '95 and he asked for help finding the clicking noise when he turned left as it didn't make it turning right.  He was told to check all struts, joints and such whereupon he became sad as he found nothing.  Then he was told to remove the empty beer bottle from under the seat that hit the iron turning left but only hit paper towel turning right.

Be careful or the next thing you will want will be power windows and radio with a built in cassette player.

  I would rather drive a chevy truck that the government bailed out,, then got re-paid in full  ,, than drive a vehicle from a manufacturer that took a bunch of North American jobs & turned them into south american jobs.

Jerry a person cannot beat the old Philco radio in the old Fords.  Only gets AM and that means no head banging nonsense from the lads leaving it on the [stuff in the toilet bowl after a good dump] they listen to. 
I drove a Chev once, actually I won it in 1993 in a lottery.  Drove that pig to the Auto trader place, had pics taken and an ad placed.  Sold it the next day so I could drive an old Ford.  Guy who bought it lost a tranny the first year and the passenger door blew off at 6 months.

$11.2 billion in losses is paid in full? The paid in full BS is an obama type of lie to appease the screwed over taxpayers. BTW, I hope that you don't forget the new plant government motors is building in China with some of its new found funds.  At least Ford is building plants in their market areas with THEIR money, not the taxpayers money.

It was a windy day and they were pulling a trailer, something was wrong with the trailer so he pulled over and his wife opened her door to go fix it.  Wind caught the door.  She told me "the damb thing near pulled me outta the truck and just ripped off and fell in the ditch".  They put it in the trailer and continued into town with her wearing her seat belt.
I can say,"I sell new Chevs to drive old Fprds".

As for power windows they suck big time.   When I hunt from the truck I want precision height adjustment you can get from hand crank.

When everything ford sells in the truck line starts with F150-F250-F350 and so on and so on is the only reason they can say its the best selling f series for 35 yrs.

That isn't legal here.  I won't ask if it is there.
