Bought in Sulphur, LA, 1997; most maintenance & repairs were done at the dealership; it has been replaced by a 2010 Dodge 1-ton. The camper shell was transferred from the previous 1988 Silverado 1/2-ton and painted to match this truck. It was Rhino-lined a few months after purchase. It has been used for travelling (towing a camper trailer to Canada & back); commuting; hunting/fishing; towing Aluminum & fiberglass bass boats; hauling building materials for a house, garage, & boat dock; and for towing a small 4WD 50hp tractor from TX to AL occasionally.
E-mail me through my profile here, or on most Ford truck & Crown Vic forums. It will be CraigsListed in Memphis.
Weighed it 7/26/12: 7240# with the bed crane, a full tank, and me sitting it in. I weigh 240#.
Sold 6/4/14 to a Tennessean. |

Zzz.JPG 542 hits | 47.05 KB | Posted: 6/4/14 Yes, she's gone - gone - gone... I finally found someone who appreciates the mechanical soundness of this truck, despite its cosmetic flaws. It just needed a few ounces of refrigerant.

The solar panel in the door pocket goes on the dash when I leave the truck parked for days or weeks.
MFS08.JPG 533 hits | 108.08 KB | Posted: 4/10/14 I used the pick again to set the shifter boot back onto the column shroud as I put the lower shroud into place. I put some red threadlocker on the tube for the upper shroud's L screw so maybe it won't come apart next time.

MFS07.JPG 498 hits | 112.13 KB | Posted: 4/10/14 The new switch went right back in, and I reconnected it for testing before finishing the installation up here. It worked fine, so I put the rest of the dash back together. The pick was used to lift the steering wheel lip over the upper shroud lip.
MFS06.JPG 531 hits | 125.99 KB | Posted: 4/10/14 With just a little finageling, the big connectors came out of the dash. This might be 20 minutes of work, but I took longer because I was learning, trying various tools, and taking pictures.
MFS05.JPG 536 hits | 101.29 KB | Posted: 4/10/14 Up here, I pulled the cluster bezel off (releasing the cargo lamp switch plate, headlight switch connector, & other switches) to make room for the column shroud. Two T25 screws released the lower half (the pick released the tilt lever clip), and I u...

DualAltCables.JPG 3344 hits | 99.42 KB | Posted: 9/13/12 This suggests that the alternators are wired in simple parallel, on all terminals, but I'm not sure about the way it shows the output cables BOTH going to the LEFT battery.

97BattSideTerms.JPG 3301 hits | 93.66 KB | Posted: 12/10/11 I cleaned all 5 less than a year ago, but I didn't apply any grease. It has been cranking a little more slowly lately, so while working on other projects, I pulled the L battery and found this.
While working on the terminals, I put the battery on t...
