Nice '83 F100 on Craigslist.
1983 Ford F100 - $6200 (East Tenn.)

Either way, it's a really nice truck, inside and out. I really love the flaresides, and he has done a good job on that bed.
For me though, a truck has to be 4x4. I will NOT have a 2 wheel drive truck.

I'll admit that I thought about putting the "Explorer" on the back of my truck just for looks. Yeah, I'm a phony. 
Since my truck is a spray can deluxe, I could just cut out a cardboard stencil, hold it up there, and hit it with a can of white. But, I'd much rather put yellow hazard strips on the back of my bumper.
Yep folks, redneck fashion.

Came across these on a different memory card. The date on all the pics are wrong.
This would have been my first bullnose truck, but the seller didnt really want to sell it to me because I was looking for a daily driver at the time and he kept saying it would be a great truck to restore. He wanted $1500. It had original paint, 300-6/auto and was a '83 with factory 8 track player radio. A week or so later I bought my silver '86. I just saw it on CL about a month ago for $1600 from a different seller. Looked pretty much the same.
Saw these two at the Woodward Dream Cruise last year.
This one looks to be a '82

I don't live in a state where 4x4 is a necessity. However, there's just something about a 4x4 truck.

I believe it is just an 80 and they put 80s don't know why. I think that is more of a 351 being a F250. I don't know for sure never really saw it before just saw it on craigslist.
Trav
Here is some I saw on Pheonix craigslist:
1984 Ford F250 4x4 - $3000 (59th and Bell)
1986 F250 513cid 4X4 - $9000 (Tucson)
I really like this one:
83 Ford F250 4x4 tubro diesel - $5200 (101 & 56st)
