Giraffe Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Hello, everyone! My name is Jonathon. I usually go by John. I live in central Arkansas and recently acquired a 1985 F-150 XLT Lariat from an estate sale up in Greenbrier. Though it has some mechanical issues that need to be diagnosed and sorted out, it was garage kept and is in very good shape for its age.I just randomly searched on estatesales.net one day and found the sale about two weeks before it was to occur. Below is the picture they posted.https://i.imgur.com/RtOCpdw.jpgAnd the day after I brought it home.https://i.imgur.com/jGUtlp9.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/94glJoo.jpgThe first thing I did was remove the running boards. I was not a fan.https://i.imgur.com/OExscy7.jpgI also installed 1980 clear marker lenses.https://i.imgur.com/NgQf8h0.jpgThe first work I did was a deep clean. It also needed a redo of the headliner. The dash pad is perfect.https://i.imgur.com/J2Le7wb.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/23CKcUD.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/Sc2E9hZ.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/WNn8q6p.jpgHeadliner work. I'm very happy with how this turned out. I also replaced all the interior lights with some very bright LEDs.https://i.imgur.com/8zQlnQz.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/0NRlgDB.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/5mnb35z.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/rqOUCCo.jpgI look forward to conversing with everyone here. I am having some issues with this truck that I'll post about elsewhere. It's nice to see these trucks have a good following. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
