Well 3 years later, when i finally tried to ship my car overseas, turns out it would cost us a fortune due to overdue government payment crap... so i started looking for one here.

The car was right by my best freind's house and the owner just took it out of storage. Its a 1977 non-sunroof, has A/C and thats it. There is some surface rust and interior needs work. Car has been sitting for a year or so and the gas tank has been drained so less work. Car passed safety last year... Needs an ignition switch and a battery. Paid 500$

Pictures to follow... god its good to be back

Very nice!

But now for the real question. What year is the F-150? Long Box? Looks like an early 90's model. Very sweet, we need more pics of the truck.

I pickep up my 92 for $1000. Doesn't look that good! And it has 350,000 kms, but it still gets the job done. Ford tough.

hey from what ive been reading on here seems because it cis injection it runs on high pressure .i think you want to get a fuel pump relay,before you realy start anywhere else.but of course all your filters fuel air and of course oil change then see how it opperates.from what ive learned your wur (warm up regultor)can create that type of problem.im sure youll get lots of other answers.im no guru by any means.and i call for help also
