Rembrant Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Not sure if this truck was posted before or not, but it popped up in my IG feed today and reminded me of Rick's red Lariat. Sure is pretty. Claims to have 11,000 original miles and to be unrestored. Apparently sold for $20,900 this past fall in Texas. https://www.mecum.com/lots/DA0919-383232/1986-ford-f150-pickup/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a great looking truck...very similar to Lucille and a nice comparison. Both trucks have similar options and accessories. I think that truck is painted Light Canyon Red, where mine is Dark Canyon Red. Although I am not a fan of that style of lower body molding on a solid color truck, the color and cleanliness make up for it. I much prefer the upper body molding on mine, along with the lower wheel lip moldings. I am also not a fan of those large "work" style mirrors on a truck like this, even though they are more functional. Also, that truck is fuel-injected 5.0, while mine is a carbureted 5.0. You know, it just occurred to me that "Lariat" model trucks of the Bullnose era usually had two-tone paint. It was rare to see one in a solid color. All in all, that truck looks like mine's sister, so I can dig it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 That's a lot of coin. My 86 XLT Lariat F250 has a interior darn near that nice. Seats been covred since day it was new. These trucks seem to really climbing in value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It ads a bit of style while not being overly obtrusive. Understated elegance. I also think the other truck would have looked much better as one of the two tone paint styles.
