The Survivor

Finally got some pics. This was my buddies late fathers, last truck he bought. Sketchy on details, but it's an 85, 351, 4 speed. No emblems on it besides Ford, plain jane, no air, but has ps/pb. Is original miles on the clock at 39k, stays in the garage at all times. Engine is pretty greasy for the mileage, don't know why. Truck was sitting outside, so grabbed some pics.

Pretty interesting! I bet there isn't very many trucks like that with under 40K on them left.

The emblem says F150 yet the interior has no woodgrain and the tailgate is plain. ???

I have an F350 that came with that gray, waffle-weave-type of cluster & radio/HVAC bezels. Like he said, this is a plain-Jane variant, no fancy trim packages installed.

But has the racetrack trim and 2 tone paint on the outside. I guess it's what used to be a "custom"?

Yes, I stand corrected. It was the designation such as XL or XLT etc that specified the trim level.

I have a friend with a similar truck, upper and lower trim on the outside but it's a plain old Custom.

The Customs, and later the XL which replaced the Custom designation could be ordered with nearly any option available.
I have had 1 1980 custom that had no options whatsoever, manual steering, manual brakes, radio delete, 300, 3 on the tree, 185/75R15 tires, bare bones truck.
I have also had an 86 diesel parts rig that had everything you would have found standard on a Lariat, but was still an XL.
