First off this is not mine, nor anyone's I know. I figured there are others like me that like to see how much these Bullnose trucks go for in today's market. This one's rust free with 18,500 miles on it.

Ford : F-150 | eBay

 

I might pay that much if it was 4x, or a 2-350. Sure is in spanking condition though.

 

VERY nice looking truck. I wonder what his reserve is being it is at more than what the truck was new

 

Thats a $2500 truck all day long ..................

 

Yep. $2500 sounds about right.

If I could get it for $2500, that thing would be in my driveway in a heartbeat. Then I'd spend a weekend stripping it down to every last nut, bolt, and washer. The frame, bed, and drive shaft would be cut up with my plasma torch and go to the scrap metal dealer. Then the rest would become my fully restored long bed.

 

I would give him 2500 on the spot! Even if it didnt run, hell, even if it didnt have an engine

 

It would be a nice investment for a die-hard collector but I wouldn't have any need for it. I need a truck to work hard, not look good. After one winter with the radioactive crap they use on our roads here, and the potholes and half-a$$ed patch jobs the truck would be in the same condition as the $500 piece of crap on the next page.

Still though, nice truck.

 

I second that. No engine? No problem. 460 swap.

 

Warwick is about 4 hrs from here. Hmm , road trip??

 

Take a look at the tailgate handle. It appears to be painted the same color as the truck. I always thought they were all ONLY chrome?

 

Chrome Tailgate Handle was an Optional Extra except for the XLT.

The standard handle is painted.

The use of a vinyl protectant on the spare tire, and engine compartment, (Can see where some of it was missed) is not the best idea, IMO.

It's got Dealer A/C. The bezel and the dash have been cut to install the vents. The A/C lines are inked the right year range, 10/12/84.

The Bed Bolts are showing a little rust on the drivers side. The passenger side ones are like new.

The steering wheel still shows it's texture, and no signs of wear.

The seat belts in the seat and their plastic covers are still intact.

The Vinyl Floor mat is in good shape, and matches the interior for an XL.

The seat is in great shape.

The Instrument cluster bezels shows no signs of fading.


I would say the truck is pretty much as described in the advert, with between, 18,000 and 118,000 on it, by what the pictures look like.

But look in my gallery, can you tell how many miles is on mine from the pictures?

Would have to inspect it in person to get a better idea. What to look for... Original Halogen headlamps, bulbs of the era. "E6T-" or newer parts. Signs of repaint. Look for motorcraft belts and hoses, etc...

 

Well, the truck still hasn't met reserve...

 

Wow. $9,100 too... That's nuts.

 

The rear bumper is aftermarket. not original.

 

Rear bumpers were optional.

It's original bumper could have been, none.

The bumper looks like ones sold in the 80's. IE: Possible Dealer install.
