Greetings all,
I’m the proud new caretaker of a one-owner 1990 D250 that I found using Autotempest. I’ve been looking for a first-gen for quite a while and when I saw this one, I thought, “Man, this is too good to be true.” The exact truck I was looking for, found it in one search, on a whim using a site some guy mentioned in a youtube video I was watching.
I drive truck, so it was a nerve wracking week before I could get down to Florida to get it. All the while going, “Please don’t be sold... please don’t be a scam... please don’t get stolen (the guy listed his address on CL )...”
Anyhoo, now the work begins. It is in very clean condition with no rust, but does have some minor body damage on both doors and one fender. It’s also in need of a transmission rebuild—the ol’ Getrag is popping out of 5th when you let up on the throttle. Other than that, it runs and drives perfectly.
Looking forward to learning about my new toy.
