Back when trucks were trucks

[@zmurray9499]

[@AlejandroP1980s]

Z Murray also I got a question why electric more and more cars going electric no more gas or what also easier to have electrical issues

[@jns66jns]

Just bought a 1985 f-250 today with 80,000 miles on it! These trucks are the best

[@zmurray9499]

You are right my friend👍

[@noahgaray7923]

What amazes me is the fact that both door and seatbelt buzzers work, and the hubcaps haven’t lost their paint! I sure love these old trucks! Got an 86 f250 xlt lariat with a 460 c6 4x4. Same thing just a regular cab.

[@zmurray9499]

Noah Garay that seat belt buzzer drives me crazy but it’s part of the 80’s nostalgia. I can’t bring myself to figure out how to disconnect it. It still has the original windshield with dealer sticker on it. I like the 80’s trucks because they are comfortable and classic.

[@noahgaray7923]

Z Murray if you do want to know, its above the glovebox latch. Just a quick unplug. What 3” lift did you put on her up front?

[@zmurray9499]

Noah Garay I pieced together the lift with some add a leafs and some 2 inch blocks that I already had. After I put it back together I couldn’t even get it close to alignment so added the 3inch drop brackets for the front differential. thanks for the info on the door/seatbelt buzzer.

[@fr-jn9cz]

Noah I have that same truck except it’s a manual.

[@scotthooper4170]

That’s a good tip. I might try that. If it’s not already done. It is a little ways away from getting it started. 84, & no where in the shape yours is. This is a educational video for me. Thank you.

That's a really clean truck. Wow! What a find.

I actually sold it because it was so clean. I didn’t want to crap it up using it as a truck. Thanks

That is a beautiful truck man all original hang on to it they 'll never make them like that again .

[@zmurray9499]

I actually sold it a few years ago so I could get another crew cab. Long story short I had a 1970 Ford crew cab short bed 4 x 4 that I sold for big money. Regretted it to this day. Picked up a square body crew cab before I got priced out of the market. You are correct though, original is always best and rare. Thanks
