So the old,truck gave out recently and is gone. Rust killed it. A 1963 international that grandpa bought new. It had 32k total miles.

We replaced it yesterday with a 1986 F250. Bought from a car guy who seems to have mostly taken great care. This truck will run few miles and be used by many different family members. Most of whom are maintenance idiots.

Here is what I am intending on doing proactively to give this truck a good start at its new life:

change oil / coolant / brake fluid / transmission fluid / t-case fluid.

Inspect both diffs but not change them unless they are dirty.

Grease anything that wants grease

Wax paint

Sand out small rust spot and cover with polyurethane pant

Inspect belts and visual check under hood for anything weird.


What did I miss? It is a 351/c6 4x4. It has a carburetor.

Thanks in advance!
