1983 Ford F150 XLT review from North America
"The best truck a person could ever own!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
July 7, 1999: Nothing for the most part, had to have a carb rebuild and a couple of gasket replacements and an exhaust system, but it has run non stop since its creation.
General comments?
Highly recommended because it will keep on truckin' whenever you need it. Easy to fix, very common to find parts, and no computer stuff that costs a mint and a fortune to replace!
Very easy to modify too... Just added a big stereo with an amp and two 12" subs. Stock speakers really work good too. Also added a overload kit so it can take more load.
If you don't have one, go out and buy one! Trust me, you will be pleased!!!!! :-)
