Classic Car Overview
This 1985 Ford F250 XL is a clean and solid Bullnose pickup that spent its life in California and Idaho. The last owner had this truck for 12 years using it as an extra vehicle. The body on this truck is clean and straight. It was repainted years ago in its original color of Wimbledon White and the paint still looks great! All of the chrome and trim appear to be original and still looks nice. The underside of this truck is exceptionally clean (you can still see original primer on the floors). We found no rust issues with this truck.
The interior is also really nice. The bench seat is out of a newer model Ford and was professionally reupholstered. The door panels, rubber floor mat, and dash bezel are original and nice. It does have a newer dash cover installed because the original dash was cracking. The headlights, taillights, brakelights, and turn signals are all working. The gauges all work. This horn, heat, and windshield wipers work. It does have an aftermarket radio which is working.
Mechanically this truck is excellent and it runs and drives great! The engine is the original 7.5L 460 V8 that runs strong with no issues or red flags that we found. The transmission is the C6 Automatic that shifts nice and it is mated to the Borg Warner Manual Shift transfer case. The 4WD works like it should. It has the Ford 10.25 rear axle with 3.55 gears and a factory limited slip. The front axel is the Dana 44 TTB with 3.55 gears. It is sitting on a set of Ford factory Steel Wheels with 235/85/16 tires.
