    Opened up my Ford tech tool kit. First thing you do is put a couple shots of this in your coffee. Takes the sting of resentment away from being a Ford owner. 20200705_095333.jpg

    Not seeing alot of red flags except that turbo pipe connection. Seems well cared for. Dash frame dont look broken up. But that is a lot of new paint I would wanna look over and get a dyno run to spend that kinda money on a old truck. Sure as heck looks better than alot of 1992 trucks.

    Back of the bunk looks pretty beat up. See some small rust stains on the bottom of the back of the bunk too. Other than that and the pipe jimmy fockin two lanes mentioned, looks pretty good!

    For being older than @stwik, @D.Tibbitt and possibly @Brettj3876 it don't look too bad at all :p

    I spotted the dent in the turbo inlet pipe and looks like the paint is starting to bubble and rust around the air bag mounts on the back of the sleeper. Frame looks pretty straight. Definitely looks like the previous owner took pride in his ride. Biggest issue I see is it has 1 too many axles for you @singlescrewshaker! :eek:

    W/o going and looking it's really hard to get an idea from pics. Yea spotted that too. Looks like they just gave it the fresh paint over rust. Can see pock marks over the paint. I'd ask for more pics up under the sleeper. How rusty that is or if it has oil/grease thrown up everywhere

    Biggest thing that caught my attention as far as rust is the frame looks great and not just had paint thrown over rust and the bracketry under the hood isn't even rusty.

    @singlescrewshaker

    This is how the 93 looked when we flew down to Texas to get it. Paint looked much better in pics lol. Pulling into the yard both of us were like Jesus #### did we just fly down here for that lol.

    Reason i said ask for pics under sleeper is we had to replace the sill that runs across the bottom of the sleeper. And that classic looks like it could be spotty under it
