1986 F150 300 I6 NP435 BW1345 9" Rear Dana44 Front 3.50 gears









Everything on it is pretty much stock except for the front bumper and light bar of course.

 

Very nice, olivedad51!

 

both of the fenders are starting to rust out. I am not too worried about it though, A friend and i are planning to fabricate a tube/expanded metal/diamond plate bed for it eventually. I plan on shortening the bed length by about 16" or so, i am tired of dragging the *** end when going up steep inclines. The whole idea behind the truck was for a 4x4 toy and that's exactly what its been used for but now i have come to respect it a little more and try to take care of her better.

 

I have had to replace the clutch a couple times, the second time i let my wife drive it to work and back and she burned it completely up in less than 15 miles, a few clutch master cylinders (finally figured out something was misaligned and cleared up that issue), a voltage regulator on the alternator going out drove me crazy for 6 months or so before it finally went completely out and finally tracked it down, replaced the motor mounts, one was completely bent and blew my mechanics mind he wouldn't shut up about it and the fact that i was able to drive all the way to his house with the front bearings so shot (i didn't even notice a difference). I have all the sensors and valves missing on the emissions and am still somehow squeaking out 14 mpg on hwy while others get 10-12 when one craps out

 

I bought a 4" body lift for it a couple years ago and i have never even opened the box. I just cant bring myself to put it on and throw larger tires on it because i am afraid it will throw off how well it performs for me now.

 

The NP435 coupled with the BW1345 in 4 Low is some combo, I wouldn't be one bit surprised if it doesn't break 2 mph on a smooth even surface.
