85 F250 24k miles one owner "Fordasaurus".

Rembrant
This old girl is way up in the Northeast about half way between Reamer and I.

Not something I would ever need or buy, but it's always nice to see low mileage clean, rust free, one owner trucks.

Lots of money, but overall a really nice truck.  But, the air pumps, plural, appear to have serpentine pulleys on them, and one air pump doesn't have a belt while the other does but the belt appears to be very loose.  And there's no belt on the A/C compressor, but it is v-belt, as is the power steering pump.  Something strange there.

Also, notice what appears to be an air compressor on the driver's fender liner.  And air injection manifolds that I don't recognize.  And a "muffler" for the dual smoke grinders, as Bill would say, that I don't know that I've seen before.

But, I do like the overhead console with the switches and volt meter.

It has an air horn, that is probably what the pump is for...
