Ford F-150 1985 Description

This is a nice . clean 1985 F-150 base model pick up. Found in a barn in northern Florida where it sat for 15+ years. last tags were dated 2000. just over 87000 orig. miles. Only rust through is on bottom of tailgate and 2 small holes on the underside of the front bed supports. None are structural. The rest is only surface rust on hood and roof. Sat facing out an open door exposed to weather. I have replaced the complete clutch system. Allhydraulics, lutch fork, ressure plat, lutch disk, hrow out bearingand pilot bearing. Everything in this system is new and works perfect.
Brakes, nbsp;Master Cylinder,new front calipers and pads. re surfaced the rotors, ebuilt the rear wheel cylinders, e furbished the E brake system. All works like new.
Fuel system, nbsp;Tank, ending unit, uel pump,Carburetor, uel line from pump to carb and filter. All sensors and EGR stuff new and working.Engine, GR valve, ntake- Exhaust gaskets, alve cover gasket.Spark plugs, nbsp;Water temp sensor. New battery. While I was in there everything exposed was cleaned,decreasedand painted correct colors.
Under side, xhaust system from Cats back, joints and carrier bearing. 4 Brand new Goodyear Wrangler Tires. Still have the mold release on the sides.
Interior, nbsp;Dash pad and floor covering, hift knob. Also replaced the door strikers and all the weather stripping and seals around the windows Nosqueaksor rattles.Everythingon the dash works as it should.
I did do a small amount of body work. The cowl area was full of rotted leaves which rusted a hole in the cowl behind the dash. Once cleaned out and sand blasted the area was glassed and then sealed with under coating inside and out. There was a few small holes in the floor along the door jamb from the same leak. These were also fixed and sealed. It does not leak now and I made and installed a screen under the cowl vent to keep any more crap from getting in thereTheres probably more stuff that I've forgotten about. It does have A/C. Its been converted to 134A. I have not looked into what it will take to get that going. System is flat so there has to be a leak somewhere.
I have all the factory paperwork from the selling dealer in Bartow Florida.inc manuals and window sticker as well as the "protecto" plate
Only body damage is on the right side of the bed near the cab. theres wrinkle in the sheet metal that looks as if it was dented once and pulled out.
In short, his is a great truck. It drives like a dream and Im really temped to keep it. Just dont have a valid reason to add another truck to the "fleet"I will deliver for .80 a loaded mile. This means you will only be charged for each mile its on my trailer. I've gone as far as Chicago ondelivery's. Everyone has been very happy with the trucks they bought from me. I buy and fix them up as if they were to be my own.
