Machspeed Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 My son and I take a twelve mile bike ride almost daily in the neighborhoods of my town. On that ride I've noticed several Bullnose trucks, all of which I never see moved from their respective parking spots. The one pictured below is one that I really like and my eyes always gravitate to it. I just love that turquoise and white. Looks like it may be an F250. May stop by there one day and check it out. Whatcha think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rembrant Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Not a bad lookin' old Bull. F250 2wd I'd say...maybe a camper special or something like that? The long "F" in the F250 badge tells us that the truck is 1982 or newer, and the guys can correct me here, but I believe the remnants of that upper molding/trim tell us the truck is 1984 or older. Somebody else might be able to narrow it down further than that with the paint colors and combination;). Nice truck though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 It is 1984 or earlier, for sure. Look at where the tutone break is - above the crease. As of 1985 it moved to below the crease. And it looks like it has a full-floating rear axle, so is a heavy duty F250, meaning 8500 GVWR or more. I like it. Should clean up nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it has the square mirror heads, so if those are original to the truck, that would make it a 1982 as that was the last year before the more rounded mirror heads came out.

ArdWrknTrk Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Definitely a 5th wheel or gooseneck with that gate. It must move on the regular for them to cut the grass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen it moved, Jim. Think they use a string trimmer around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's parked in bright sun and it's still looking a little mossy. You don't usually see that unless they're off in the woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
