My wife's dad is unable to drive anymore and gifted me his 1997 F150. It's a long bed that's appears in good shape. I was thinking of using it as my work truck when I just need to haul material. It has 118k on the 4.6 V8. I replaced the tie rods, wheels bearings, front brakes and ball joints.
It does have some bounce to it when driving, so I'm assuming it will need some suspension work. Also the engine could probably use a tune up. Any suggestions on what I should replace before I get stuck on the side of the road? I'm trying to be proactive. Also anything I should be looking forward too?
