1984 Ford F150 Regular Cab 2WD For Sale In Grand Rapids MI - D & L Auto Sales

Just got home with this one trailing my 2011. What package is this? XLT, Explorer, or something else. It doesn't say anywhere.

Don't know too much history on it. Not enough rust to have been there long.

FWIW, there is a sticker on the bumper, says AAA auto club, from Southern California. Maybe?

Triple-A sticker, topper and the color all point to "Old Man Truck" which means it stayed in the garage whenever it snowed and the week after. Nice looking truck, though! The color can stay but if you're under 60 best to 86 the cap. (no offense to our Senior members) ~Bill

I'm not sold on the cap, either. But it looks like it's never been off the truck. Plus, instead of clamps, they used bolts drilled into the top of the bed.

Anyone know how to set the clock? It's got 3 buttons, TIME, ET TIME, and DATE, along with 2 other smaller buttons not marked.

I haven't messed with my clock yet...no idea.

I like the color alot. I've always liked the red ones best but the two tone is awesome imo. The Brown and tan ones are sharp too I think.

Id be happy to be called an old man if mine was in as good shape lol.

The gizmo on the fenderwell, by the M/C? Something to do with a trailer brake. Or do you mean the reel light?

I'm curious to if this has been repainted or repaired sometime in the past. The color the box looks a little different shade or it just could be the outside is faded. Looks like the hook is a little different shade then the driver's fender. Dent in wheel well but no paint scrap. Did you guys not notice the tailgate and almost new rear bumper?

To set date press and hold down "date" and "left button" to set month. Do the same on "right button" for date.

Same for time. Left if for hour, right is for minute.

It never fails, someone always trying to be something from a Chevy under the hood of a ford. Referring to the under hood light reel.

Light reel, cool. I've never seen one before, we see a few under bonnet lights but just fixed globes, not an extension reel.

Yeah I did notice the tailgate not matching.

Light reel is one you would find on the inner fender just above passenger side from wheel just behind the battery on a gm pickup.

My truck has a light reel. Doesn't work (or I couldn't figure it out). I was under the impression that it was stock.
