I took my '84 F150 XLT to the local car cruise today and another local showed up with a really nice '82 F150 that his dad bought new. I see this truck all the time on my way home from work but never had a camera with me.



My truck in the lineup before the cruise.

I enjoyed all 23 pages of this thread!

I'll add my 1985 XLT Explorer with a 5.0L 302 EFI. I picked it up at the beginning of this year from the second owner who owned it for about a year and half. The first owner before him bought it new.

It's in pretty good shape with the expected wear and tear of a daily driver and other than a slight idle issue it runs strong.

Thanks Gigger. I've already gotten some great leads from some of the other threads on here.

Now if I could just tear myself away from looking at all these awesome trucks...

Thanks J...I thought the same about the seats, haven't seen many headrests on 80-86s.
