I was talking to a friend last night kinda reminiscing about the past. He quit farming 20 years ago. The subject of his last farm truck came up. Turns out he still has it. It’s a 97 4 door long bed 7.3 with automatic. 165k miles. It’s been under a barn its whole life. Last time I saw it it looked really nice still, just one dent from a blowout on the back.

Anyways it’s largely been parked for 20 years. They have driven it now and then when another car goes down. About 5 years ago he says his wife ran it out of diesel and they couldn’t get it to run right afterwards. Of course now the battery’s are smoked and I’d assume it needs tires.
I don’t need it, but I have 2 boys coming up and I think it would make one of them a sweet truck. I have a 05 dodge that’s low miles barn kept that they will probably fight over. He offered it for 5k and I think it’s as nice of a 25 year old truck as money can buy.

Any ideas what I might get into to get it back running right? I’m supposed to go look at it this weekend.
