Whew, in my old eyes, thatās one ugly ass vehicle. But in its day probably mildly popular? I always preferred the El Camino over the Ranchero. Guess itās sorta like one manās junk is treasure to another š¤·š»āāļø
IMO, a honest dealer would provide you with a Carfax report.
In one post you mentioned it was a dealers Loaner vehicle and a Lemon Buyback? Thereās a big difference. That should be positively determined before moving forward in my mind
My thoughts are: a dealer can get the window sticker info, beware of shady dealers, I would want to see fords maintenance/service records on the vin #, I would want a guarantee itās not a Ford Lemon Buyback, what defines a āreacquiredā vehicle? Lastly, cover your ass especially on a used vehicle
Donāt get me wrong, I like my little truck, it can do a lot for what it is, but Iām guessing youāve never owned a full size 4 door late model truck, thereās a big difference in size and capabilities

IMO I would get one of these along with a a few of their batteries & charger and carry it wherever in the field with ya

One other thought/suggestion for ya Rod, for the long length lumber, i purchased one of these extenders linked below and have been very pleased. Great when you don't want to mess with a trailer...
Bed Rug. Easy on the knees. Water, dirt, grime wonāt hurt it. Sweep out or wash out
Best mod of all the normal things you see being added (for me anyways)
Welcome Rod I think youāre gonna really like the little truck, I have mine and Iām in similar spot in life as you, matter of fact I think 50% or more are boomers or beyond
