351C 4V Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Hi all- I am glad that I found this forum, and look forward to being a part of it. I recently acquired a 1985 F150 shortbed 4X4 auto with the 351 HO motor 76,000 miles. The body is straight with no rust, just patina paint. The other is an 87 shortbed 4X4 auto 5.0. Body is also straight rust free with good white paint. It was said to run well, but needed a new rear fuel tank, pumps, etc. , as it set for a good while. Mice also chewed up some wiring pretty good. I am in the process of installing, and should know if she runs by end of week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kramttocs Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Welcome! Sharp looking truck. You've got the upper trim that Rick (Lariat85) likes. The tailgate is an earlier year but looks in great shape and that that trim panel is my favorite style. Looking forward to hearing more about both trucks.

That is my favorite tailgate, also. Didn't know if was from a different year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
