My First Bullnose

I thought I would share with you a picture of my first Bullnose truck.
She's a 1986 F150 XLT Lariat, 300/6 Auto. I bought her almost new with only
9000kms in the fall of 1987. Sadly I sold here in 1994 with 235000 kms on the clock,
and I wish I still had her!

My second Bullnose was also a 1986 F150 XLT Lariat, 302/ 4 speed.

That's a really NICE looking truck.  

Nice trucks! But what's with all the slabsides, Mr Flareside?

Great looking trucks!

I'm on my second Bullnose, the first one was let go after ten years, and I still partially regret it years later.

I still have the Ranger I bought when I graduated high school over ten years ago. Plan to keep it forever just to say I've had it for forty years.

im still driving my first bullnose along with others. a 1986 sb4x2 300/c6 currently keeping my hunting gear at the ready and will go back to commuting a little after season. til then my flareside gets the job.

Nice trucks!

Thanks for sharing these pictures!

Enjoy seeing and reading this type of stuff along with a trip back in time. I still have my first and only Bullnose. Bought the fella brand new in 1986. So glad I kept it!

our trucks look sooo much alike. i only wish mine was a 4wd.

Lol, ya, I actually had 3 1986 F150 Stylesides before I bought my 81 Flareside,
now I have the 3 Flaresides!

I Love your Truck!
You're lucky to have had her since she was new!!!

Thanks, Jeff! Funny thing is, I joined this website as an aide in fixing my truck up to sell....LOL! Hung around, got to know some people, became somewhat active, kept the truck and here I am!!! A good thing!!!      

Yep, I have had people ask me if I will sell any of my trucks, but I won't,
I get Way Too Much Enjoyment out of them!!!

Nice trucks Jeff! I love seeing the old pictures from back in the 80's and 90's when a lot of people first got into the Bullnose trucks.

I bought a 1980 F100 Flareside back in the early 90's...I don't remember exactly what year, but I want to say it was 1992. It was originally a 300 six truck but the previous owner had swapped in a 351w. That truck worked really well and had oodles of power but for some reason it ate starters. With the 4spd it was fun.




I always missed that truck and started looking for another one around 2015, and bought the '84 F150 below. Pics are after I finished rebuilding it.





Then I bought this 1980 F150 4x4 and dragged it out of the weeds in pieces. It had a bad frame so I swapped the whole body on to a 1995 F150 chassis.

Nice trucks, Cory! I have to say, I miss your 84! That truck was especially photogenic...lol!

I would have liked to keep that truck, but it was time to move on and I can't keep them all;).

Those are beautiful trucks Cory!
My favourite is the Blue '84!

All very nice trucks indeed.  Bought Brutus brand new in 86 for $14,000
