thelastkeg Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Folks, I've seen this truck around town a couple of times but only recently was able to snap a picture. I've never seen a decal/stripe setup like this before on the 80s Fords. Something called a Free Wheeling package is similar, but only the 70s trucks have the distinct stripes. The early 80s Fords with the Free Wheeling package has one solid stripe that fades into different colors. Any idea what this is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 A Free Wheeling package would look like the pic below. But I don't know about those stripes. Maybe Ralph knows, so I'll tag him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81-F150-Explorer Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 To hazard a guess . . . Possibly a Mexican built Explorer package. The Mexico built F-series had their own rules and differences. Picture: Mexican Built 1984 F-150 Explorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArdWrknTrk Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 That definitely looks like a tequila sunrise. (you have to be of age in the '70's to know what that or a Harvey Wallbanger is ) I believe there were a bunch of regional or dealer specific tape packages for these trucks as well. (Rocky Mountain and Texas editions definitely) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Registering under an alias definitely sounds like something he might do to keep from drawing too much attention. The drink is basically a screwdriver with Galliano.
