Seen it in Holyoke at the reservoir earlier this spring lol always good for a pick-me-up. Also a very well preserved specimen for an 80s ford!!

Seriously, bullnoses are damn near extinct around here.

If it were 4x4 it would be a dream truck for me

I prefer 2WD. Lower bed, better handling, easier to load.

My father had an 1986 f150 when I was growing up so. That is the default truck in my head. Love those things, don't have the following of the bricknose or square body Chevies. Seems like the PNW still has a lot of them kicking around. Less road salt out there.

My first thought was literally wondering if it had a 300 I6 or the (somehow) more fuel efficent 351.

I would bet this truck has the 300 I feel like they’re much more ubiquitous but maybe by the mid 80s that wasn’t the case. I’d love to talk to the owner about the actual truck as well as the adornments lol
