New Member- 1986 F250 4x4

Hey, I found this website looking for good information on my truck. I am 15 years old from alpine california and me and my dad have bought a 1986 ford f250. It is a standard cab, 4x4 long bed with a 460. im hoping to learn a lot more about the truck and find out useful information ford working on it through this website.

Welcome, Jack!  Glad you joined!  

We love father/son, or in this case son/father, projects.  Cool!

And your truck is quite similar to my Big Blue, or at least the way it came from the factory as there have now been few mod's.

We have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) so would it be ok to add you?

Hope you'll start a thread in the main section to keep track of what you and your father do to your truck.  Maybe he'll want to join as well?

Oh, and you should create a signature to help us remember what your truck is/has.  How to do that is in Bullnose Forum/Forum FAQ's.

Welcome!

Howdy, Gary

I would love to be added to the map, thank you! I will create a signature ASAP. I also will be paying close attention to your big blue build and see what you do to it. another very similar truck is Brain Dees truck, who entered in the show. thank you for having me on this server! im sure it will continue to be a great resource to my build!

Welcome!

Welcome! It's great to see a teenager enthusiastic enough about an old truck to join a forum.

Welcome Jack!  
We have very similar trucks... under the skin.

Fortunately though you're in California, your truck should be labeled "NON-CATALYST" heavy duty on the vacuum routing/emissions compliance sticker found on the radiator support.

This greatly simplifies troubleshooting and inspection compared to smaller GVW and displacement trucks of this era.
I hope you and your father get to spend some quality time together making the best of this project!
