My dad is entertaining selling his truck. I know little to nothing about Fords so I am looking to the great knowledge of NC4x4 for assistance.

Specs:
XL model (no power anything, and no cassette player, rubber floors, vinyl bench seat)
Long bed
Regular cab
76,000 miles (yes that is correct, 76,000 original miles)
4x4
Automatic
I think it has the 5.0, as dad says it has a "V8"
Brand new paint job (I am betting the paint job was twice as much as the truck is worth)

Truck is in amazing condition, not even scratches on the paint, it literally sits under a carport 99.5% of the time and dad only drives it when he goes to get pine straw or move something for someone.

So what is it worth? Is it anything special that he should keep?


Edited - it is a 1992 not a 1991

Ford went to the best body design since 1969 (I'm bias)
Same basic ttuck, just that epic grille/light combo

Just confirmed with dad, it is a 1992, I was mistaken. The front end looks just like @CasterTroy pic above.
 
If it looks like the bronco above it is a whole different truck. Never was a fan of 88-91.

Castertroy I remember you had one and he had one. Maybe his was blue.
 
So a different direction, say a jeep guy was to keep it and wanted a lifted street truck... how hard is it to lift this truck? It is a TTB front end right? It is an 8.8 rear right?

Not a lot. It's never going to be a collectible.

I think a 73-87 chevy truck is ugly as dogshit. I thought that when I saw them brand new in a showroom and I think that now. People pay huge money for nice ones, why I have no clue.
Although I find Ford's overall mechanicals from that era to be garbage, they hit a home run with looks from 92-96. Sadly a 1997-03 F150 with it's catfish looking front end ,is worse looking than the aforementioned Chevys.

Pie....just 4 inches you'll be removing the rivits in the trailing arm brackets. I like a large air chisel or the blue wrench.

Spend some coin and get the scissors replaced with a long travel set up. Trailing arm the rear and that long bed would be tight.

Edit also a Dana 44 center section.

It's a weekend of drilling/grinding/cutting rivets.

I put a 6" Skyjacker lift on one with the extended radius arms about 15 yrs ago. Like Shawn said, it was a weekend project in my parents garage.

Camburg and some others have serious long travel kits. Ditch the bench seat. Add some fiberglass and rip it!
