Poletto Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Hello, I recently bought a 1986 F150 XLT Lariat 2WD Short Bed and found this forum while looking for parts and tips on how to fix truck issues. I live in South Florida (Boca Raton) and here is a picture of the truck: Nice to be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave ---- Hi Dave, it's a 302 (5.0L V8). I'm not sure about the transmission model, but it's a 4-speed auto as far as I can tell. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is at Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu. Hi Gary, as I said on the other reply it's a 302 (5.0L V8) with auto transmission. I think the truck is originally from Georgia but last owner was in Alabama. I was looking for a bullnose for about 3 years now and finally I found one that doesn't have major rust on it (only surface rust on the paint). It has it's mechanical issues and what not but I'll be working on them for a while now. Feel free to add me to the map, I already checked on it and noticed there's a couple of other members in my area. Thanks for the welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machspeed Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Glad to have you with us. Interesting in that your truck has both the chrome trim on the wheel wells and the body. I don't think I've seen that before. Typically, the XLT's had the body chrome only. Wondering if someone added that. Nice looking Truck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
