salans7 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I got a couple really crappily filmed videos here and there I took during the restoration of dads F250 I supposed I can contribute lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rembrant Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 This one still turns my crank every time! I love the sound of them when they're pulling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rembrant Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Cory....this is your truck ain't it? Yes sir, it sure is. That was when I had the bed partially assembled, but the cab still had not been painted. I think if you look closely at the video you'll see that there's no passenger rear fender on the truck. You probably can't get decent sound if watching on a mobile phone, but with the speakers hooked to my laptop, it sure does sound good. Here's my little 302 being broken in on the dyno a couple years ago. We beat on the poor thing all day. I'd love to do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reviving the dead because of this showing up in my recommended yesterday. I knew we had a YouTube thread, but I didn't realize it has been two years. And no, I can't get an imbed link option from an Android phone so feel free. 😉 Edit: that XLT interior at around 3 minutes in is the absolute epitome of "bordello red" Awesome in it's own way, but the only thing that could improve on the stereotype would be button tufted overstuffed bucket seats!

And you are right about the bordello red. Too much! Interesting that he does call them Bullnose since we were part of the crew that decided to call them that.

You can tell the narrator isn't very educated on these trucks as most of what he listed is also found on the 1980 Ranger XLT and Ranger Lariat trucks. The only really unique thing on the 1985-1986 Lariat trucks is the velour fabric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's absolutely right about the '85 trim fading to purple and the '86 trim not doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a large collection, mostly '60's and '70's land yachts. (more than 30 and less than 100 is what I think I've heard him admit to)Being a geek I'm certain he got the term from a Facebook group or perhaps even this forum... I do think he tries to research and get his facts straight.Not sure if that pickup is his but it is pristine and although the interior is a little much for me I do like the red on red exterior.

Ray Cecil Posted November 29, 2022 Author Share Posted November 29, 2022 Been awhile. Here is my blue flareside doing farm work. Got rid of it about a year ago to a father son from Illinois I believe. Now I'm in a 88 F250 7.3Idi, and love it. About to send it to paint.
