Second Chance 85 Flareside

I have a 1985 300cdi L6 4.9 F150. With a permit in hand 20 some years ago I learned to drive this thing. Now its mine. Now I wish I would have paid more attention in Shop class.

This will be fun

Lol!  Yes, we frequently discover later that we should have paid more attention in class. 😉

But you've come to the right place as we have the experience and resources to help you in your quest to get the truck going again. However, you might want to tell us more about your plans so we understand where you are going with it.

Oh, another thing - your picture is quite wide and it doesn't show fully on smaller screens. Plus, the extra width means that when responding we have to scroll around. But, if you'd add width="100%" to the code that generates the pic it would fix that. Just click More and the Edit Post. Then you'll see something like nabble_img src="IMG_0434.png" border="0"/ but with <> on either end. Just add the above just width="100%" to make it look like nabble_img src="IMG_0434.png" border="0" width="100%"/ and then hit Post.

Welcome! I like your truck, naturally, as I am a fan of flaresides and straight sixes and 4x4's so...🤤

Gary, slow down, this is a feature/capability we should be providing and not yelling at the newbie like that.

IOW stop the engineer approach, he may want to be posting from a cellphone in the future, we don't know that, spewing HTML code to newbies and telling them to make their pictures smaller, does that remind you maybe of me several years ago on FTE? ;)

But I laughed, too, at his comment about shop class, that was funny. :)

It looks like a cool project from a distance and I agree, more pictures are necessary. :)

EDIT: Oh, BTW, welcome aboard, kristopher! :)

Amazing Truck!!!  Welcome and Congrats!  

Nice old truck, and Flaresides are getting harder to find.  Do your research here and FTE and get started fixing it up!

I, too, like the 6 cylinder engine. Welcome!
