About the 1987–1991 Ford F-150
from the generation archive
The OBS F-150 (1987-1991) crowd on SuperMotors keeps these eighth-gen Fords alive — from two-tone '89s and blue '90 rigs to lifted pairs sitting side-by-side in fields, custom flame hoods, and trucks tackling rocky forest trails with autumn leaves flying. Whether you're digging into a brake job in the garage, pulling a front wheel on your '89, or just documenting that clean chrome-bumper tailgate with the classic red and silver stripe, this is where the builds, restorations, and beater-proud survivors all live.
The story
Extra Cab Long Wheelbase bought for moving furniture and auto parts, etc.
Trans is just about gone, reverse is fine so I have to go backwards at times.
Was in limp-home mode when I bought it. I've gotten it running well now but I also have learned more than I ever wanted to know, and more, about late '80's Thermactor, EGR with Electric Valve Position Sensor, etc., etc.
I do have a complete 5.0L with AEOD trans I bought for $400 complete with engine and powertrain computers and harnesses.
I'll swap it in when reverse also goes and AAA tows it home. — DAW
