'86 4x4 SFA?
Question #1: Is it possible for an '86 model to be totally stock and have a solid front axle?
A guy near me is advertising an '86 ex-cab/4x4/turbo/auto trans on craigslist. I called, he says it's stock and has a solid front axle:think: Question #2: There's 3,200 miles on a 'new' 22ret motor, 6mo old paint, and AT tires with 90% tread. Asking $4500, a little high?:dunno: It's about a 45min drive, bout to head out. Any opinions welcomed. |
I did ask if there had been a SAS, he didn't know. He was 'fairly certain' the suspension was stock.
|
85 was the last year of factor solid front axles as far as i know, sounds like the guy doesn't know a whole lot about the truck, still worth a 45 min drive to go check it out. prices vary by area but around here that would be a good deal esp if it has a solid front axle im having trouble even finding a solid axle truck that is undriveable for less than 1100 bucks. a real clean truck of that year would fetch 5-6k here
|
I would buy that truck in a heart beat if it is what you say it is that's a fair price
|
it's possible I believe but only if it were a non-us diesel truck? I could be wrong though, but I know factory SFA 89+ exists.
|
It's IFS, the guy doesn't know what he's got. Runs great, no A/C though and fresh black paint, ain't a good combo in south Louisiana summers. No exhaust mani gasket, used red sealant, how long will that last?
|
lol till you get home with it. :lof:
4500 for an IFS 86 isn't worth it IMO. And who knows what else is rigged on that thing with RTV lol. Was it at least a turbo engine? |
yep, was turbo. And had thick rust sludge in the radiator. I think I'll pass on it. I might consider it more if I didn't have my '85 already.

"overall well maintained truck".....with rtv as an exhaust gasket ???
