This old girl is pretty clean looking! Check out that engine bay!

Interesting that it is fancy enough to have cruise, air conditioning, and wood grain bezels, but only has the idiot light gauges...

That's a very nice truck!  I sent the seller a note asking if we can immortalize that truck in the Picture Gallery section.

Gary,

Odd question...I noticed that this truck has a ground strap from the firewall to the hood (on the right hand side). The 1985 F150 I just bought also has this, but my 1984 F150 does not.

Was this something that was only on certain models or was it supposed to be on ALL of them?

I watched the video, and that truck seemed to require a lot of cranking before it fired up.

Lucille fires up MUCH faster than that.

Cory, that ground strap helps with reducing radio interference, I believe.

Well if it has to do with the radio, that might explain why my 1984 doesn't have it. My old Blue Mule is a bare bones stripper.

As clean as the old girl is, it could probably stand to have some fine-tuning from a Ford enthusiast;).

I *think* that ground strap is for the optional underhood light.

I agree with Rick/Fonzie.  I can't find the kit right now, but I'm pretty sure that ground shows as one of the parts in the underhood work light kit.

I am sure you two are most likely correct, but the 1984 [my son's] and my 1986 both have the ground strap and neither was equipped with the underhood work light.

I wonder if it was added when you chose a radio?

If it was, that would explain why there is no ground strap on my radio delete 84.
