1986 Ford F150

The Ford F-150 is a staple of the car world and has become synonymous with toughness, durability and power. Representing the 7th generation of Ford F-series truck, the new for 1980 models had new chassis, better engines, and new styling. With sharper and squarer lines, fuel economy was an important design consideration. Galvanized body panels and chassis were introduced to help fight corrosion. Considered by enthusiasts to be the last great trucks from Ford and are now becoming popular with restorers!

This 1986 F-150 is one of the last 7th generation trucks to roll of the production line. Finished in dark blue over black vinyl, this is a sharp truck. Specced from the factory as a short bed, 4x4, 4-speed manual with the 302cid V8 this is a great combination. The chrome is in excellent shape and even features the optional full chrome grill and bumpers. The paint is very even and shows well on a straight body although the current owner says that some sheetmetal near the tailgate had been replaced and repainted but you'd be hard pressed to notice. Glass and lights are clean and functionable and the rear has clear aftermarket lenses. The bed does not have a liner but shows very little wear and may have been repainted. 15in wheels are in great shape although the red trim needs a touch up. They are mounted on Grabber R/T tires that show tons of tread.

The interior is in great shape. The vinyl shows well and has no rips or stains as does the non saggy headliner. The faux wood trim is intact and the dash has no cracks. Everything works including the A/C, heater, stereo ,and gauges. According to the owner, the odo has rolled over twice and the truck has around 280k but you'd never guess based on the condition! It is missing the drivers side sunshade.

The 302 V8 starts up well and pulls very strong. The 4-speed manual shifts well and the clutch has a strong bite. Power brakes and power steering mean this is an easy truck to drive. With good service history, paperwork and two sets of keys, this an excellent example of enthusiasts favorite Ford trucks!
