Papelione Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Hi Im Christian from Norway, and the proud new owner of a F250 from 1984 2wd. I have been looking for a older truck for a while, as I live in Norway these are not in huge numbers. The bullnoses is for me the icon in these older trucks, I like the square design and "no nonsenses" look of them. Mine was imported from the US in 2014 after spending it´s first years in Utah and later Idaho. It seams pretty original, and in large rust free. Drove it home almost 2000 km, and it behaved nice, small mechanical to fix. Exterior needs som missing trim parts and a loving hand. It´s being put in for the winter, as the winters are pretty harsh here. Having trouble posting a picture, will do that later Anyway here´s a picture, and thank you for accepting in this dedicated forum:=) Best regards Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papelione Posted December 3, 2019 Author Share Posted December 3, 2019 Welcome to the forum. Nice truck! Thank you, do you guys know what the colour/decor is called, haven´t seen others in that style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papelione Posted December 3, 2019 Author Share Posted December 3, 2019 Thank you, do you guys know what the colour/decor is called, haven´t seen others in that style Guess the plan is to restore it gently, last owner was a blast-explosives guy who had it as a daily, his been nice to it, but small things needs tinkering. As mechanics is sound I want to get know first and read more on this forum to get my bearings right:=). Next year polishing, fix the trimming, small electric issues, drive it, go camping with family, enjoy it. Hoping I can keep it for many years. Maybe bigger things down the line. If you come Narvik, let me know and we can take a coffee and check out northern lights:=) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the color, if the certification label is still on the driver's door jamb you should be able to decode it here: Documentation/Specifications/Certification Label. Use the interactive one at the bottom of the page and click on the blue boxes to be taken to info on each of the codes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
