1989 Ford F350 Crew Cab Dually
Exterior
A respray in the original Dark Shadow Blue covers the long steel
paneled protruding rear fenders crew cab truck. The panels are
straight and the paint presents well with a shiny finish, but does
have some chips, dings, and runs in the finish. Breaking up the sea
of blue is a wide stripe of white paint laid onto the sides at the
belt line with light blue pinstriping above and black plastic
chrome trimmed guards below. An ever so slightly dingedchrome front
bumper looms below the chrome trimmed gray painted Ford blue oval
badged grille. Outboard of this grille are aerodynamic combination
headlights and turn signals with clear lenses all around. 4 doors
allow for easy access for you and your passengers and large chrome
towing mirrors are dressing up the front two doors. The bed shows
with a black plastic drop in bedliner and shows use which is
typically what one would do with a truck. We note the addition of a
5th wheel plate for when you want to haul those heavy loads as
well. A louvered tailgate with a V-cut top, to allow room for the
5th wheel trailer, looms above another shiny chrome bumper complete
with a 2" high receiver. Both of these towing options are ready to
go with each being wired for lighting and brakes. 16-inch 8 wheel
nut chrome dishes are upfront, and on the rear are the dual reverse
dish shiny 8 wheel nut dual accommodating wheels. We note some
damage on one of the rear wheel simulators. These are framed above
by a large fender bump out which also serves to keep the bed at
normal dimension whilst covering the outboard wheels. Overall a
nice presentation for a big rig style hauler for the common
man.
Interior
With all 4 doors swung open we see gray broadcloth covered benches
both front and rear, providing room for you and 5 of your friends.
These seats remain in very good condition with only light age use
and soiling. The original dash and door panels show some wear and
staining but are in overall good condition with the doors being
both power window and power lock equipped. To the left of the gauge
cluster, we note the headlight and wiper switches, and to the right
are warning lights for the glow plugs and water in the fuel.
Further to the right is a SONY AM/FM/Cassette capable stereo and
the heater/AC dials. Lightly soiled blue carpeting is down and up
high, covering the expansive roof is a tight and clean gray
broadcloth headliner.
Drivetrain
A big 7.3 liter non-turbochargeddiesel V8 with fuel injection and a
C6 3-speed automatic transmission have been installed by the
factory. These appear to be original, and in original condition
showing some patina, corrosion, and overall dusty. A Ford 10.25"
limited slip 4.10 rear is noted but only in the rear. Shes a 2wd
boys! Per our consignors notes we see a new lift pump for the
engine along with a recent oil change, belts and filters. The
transmission has been treated to a new neutral safety switch, a
fluid exchange, and a new filter. Also the air conditioning system
has a new pulley, clutch, and clutch solenoid.
