Seeing as @PuttItOut didn't transfer v/Motorsports to me in a timely manner AND you goddamned slackers didn't make an automotive community for me, I'm going to do the damned work myself.
Seriously, you're all a bunch of damned slackers!
At some point, we're going to have a weekly automotive thread - but I'm reluctant to pick a day of the week.
Either way, respond if you want to help. I do not really have time to do all this consistently. Like in v/Guitar, I absolutely will need to delegate. So, if you want to offer assistance now is a good time to do so.
What can you put here? Well, I'm not a big fan of deleting stuff, so you can probably post anything you damned well please. It'd be nice if it had to do with automobiles. I'd like to think others will step up to moderate, so they might delete off-topic stuff. I'm too apathetic to care.

Shine a light between the bed and the cab, from underneath it. Look for rust there.
Also, check the front end. The F series, for a few model years, had issues keeping a front end under it. Bushings went fast, bearings wore, etc. It was pretty bad from the late 90s to the early 00s. Jack it up and shake the tire. If it moves from side to side, tie rods. If it moves from top to bottom, bearings.

Good to know. I'm gonna spend my Friday devoted to checking this stuff out in detail.

Those are the two things I know from that era-ish of F series.
