Hello

Mekerek
New owner of a 1984 F-350 7.5L XLT 4x4 with a hydraulic dump bed. It's got 101k miles and I am working on bringing the truck up to par with maintenance that wasn't really done for use on my property. Cheers.

That's a really interesting truck!  What do you plan to do with it?  Use it how?

We have a lot of gravel roads on the property so I will have to regularly maintain them as well as anything else that needs to be hauled around, trees, junk to dump etc. It's also a really fun project to refurbish it, it has a TON of grease all over, so trying to get that cleaned up to see where things are leaking from.

The good side of a “greasy” truck is that there’ll be probably no rust to discover while cleaning it.
