Hi everyone,
My name is Dallas . I live in Amarillo, Texas. I recently purchased a 1985 F150 with a 300-6 with a NP435. I have read that these were good engines so hopefully it works out well for me. She isn't pretty but it works. I joined because I think it has some electrical issue and will be asking for some help here soon. I can't wait to get acquainted with you all in the near future and look forward to learning a lot from the community. Best regards, Dallas

Welcome Dallas!
 Glad it's working for you now. The 300/4.9 I-6 is an incredibly tough and reliable engine that used to be found in all kinds of things in addition to pickups. Pumps, gensets, wood chippers...... We don't see too many utility bodies/service trucks here on the forum but hopefully can answer whatever electrical questions you have if you start a new topic down in the main section where more people will see it.
Jim,

Welcome, Dallas! Glad you joined.
 Yes, the 300 six is a robust engine. They aren't said to be fast, but have good torque down low so are a great truck engine. As for electrical troubles, we have the 1985 Electrical & Vacuum Troubleshooting Manual (EVTM) at Documentation/Electrical/EVTM/1985 EVTM in the menu. That should help you a bunch. And we have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and can add you if you'd like.
