question about 1985 f150

I am looking to purchase a 1985 f150. My intention is to have it be as simple to work on as the mid to late 60's version trucks without the computer or emissions sophistication. What would I need do to have the truck run real well with the computer and emissions pulled off? Is it even possible? Thanks.

Joseph

C'mon, man, it's easier than that! Look in the sticky at the top of the page....

My personal suggestion would be to start with a 1984 or prior truck, though.
